    Anyone ever dismissed from a nursing school after "failing" an assessment skills competency because of getting one blood pressure "wrong"? Just curious. I am a nurse, and it may be about to happen to...

    Congratulations on pursuing that BSN! I am a 53 y/o JW who just completed that process. I passed NCLEX (whew!) and start a new job on L & D floor at local hospital here in Colorado Springs. Your...

  14. We lost a mom to HELLP!!!

    I know it's been awhile since this thread was started, but I came across it and wanted to respond. I am a senior nursing student and have finally decided that L & D is where I want to be, despite...
