  1. How far would you commute to nursing school?

    katebean04 replied to SlaveHeart's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Instructors deciding our fate??

    katebean04 replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Students

    katebean04 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    katebean04 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Terrified of clinicals

    katebean04 replied to Brekka's topic in General Students

    katebean04 replied to ash2987's topic in General Students

    katebean04 replied to Gypsydoll's topic in Activism, Healthcare
