    So torn between Nursing and Social Work... advice?

    Kooky Korky replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    They have to make sure students can do math. As another poster said, math errors can harm or kill real patients, so nurses have to be proficient at math. That said, with practice, you would master...

    I would just tell her you came across some information she might be interested in. Tell her now. Don't say anything about how it's your fault or you fear you messed her up. Let her re-apply to...

    Kooky Korky replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    Students couldn't find any cases? You shouldn't let it stop there. Why not check at your local law school or county law library? OR check with the BON in your state? I think the article...
