  1. What's the BEST nursing shoes?

    missnurse01 replied to BigCSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    missnurse01 replied to TooManyCats's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    missnurse01 replied to phuretrotr's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  7. Grad Plus Loan vs Private Loans

    missnurse01 replied to flyingfish2u's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

  12. I got in & so will you!

    missnurse01 replied to bepositive123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Not really! Do your review book and try your best. Many feel reviewing a long time didn't help much or that it didn't at all. I wished I would have timed my practice math sections as I ran out of...
