    halkogirl replied to Sweet_Li's topic in General Nursing

    I received number 77 on the list... but the first 60 of those are guaranteed a spot in spring semester. So technically I was "wait listed" at number 17 for the spring semester. Enough people declined...

    halkogirl replied to bexinan's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    halkogirl replied to weluv3's topic in General Nursing

    I lived in Rochester- there are not a lot of family activities in comparison to the cost of living. The Twin Cities, about 100 miles north of Rochester, have a lot more things to do with kids- two...

    halkogirl replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The way I see it, most people will question their career choices, whether it be nursing or engineering. It will be hard, but if you have a passion for the field of nursing it will be more than worth...
