   Alex2010-omg did you ever report that nurse???!! What she did was just inhumane!!! I could just never imagine doing that to someone. People like that definitely do not need to be in the medical field.

12. working weekend option while going to nursing school?

    golosa82 replied to srleslie's topic in General Students

    It all depends on your study habits and organizational skills. If you feel like you will need to focus more on school and you can financially do it without work I'd say just focus on school. I was working last semester while in the nursing program ...
