    Just looking for some other opinions on a topic that came up on Oprah

    lifelearningrn replied to mentalhealthRN's topic in General Nursing

    lifelearningrn replied to SarahMaria's topic in General Students

    Forgetting CNA Skills... =(

    lifelearningrn replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How bad is an "F" for a science course

    lifelearningrn replied to cookie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    lifelearningrn replied to Destiny12's topic in General Nursing

    "Don't get stuck in LTC"

    lifelearningrn replied to Jw1724's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I wouldn't consider LTC getting 'stuck'. It all depends on what lights you up. You love geri- what better place for you? I plan on trying out LTC myself as I have a huge soft spot for helping to take...

    lifelearningrn replied to fairandbalanced's topic in General Students

    One question didn't cause your friend to fail.. obviously she had got some others wrong as well that were probably very relevant. It's easy to say, "ONE QUESTION WOULD HAVE MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE"...

    lifelearningrn replied to gapeacheykeen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I'd swallow the cost of the text and go somewhere else. Also- you may be able to get away with using the same book anywhere you go, since most of them have the same information.. good luck...
