    Horseshoe replied to newgradnurse2018's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, that makes sense to me now. Thanks for the clarification. The difference in pay is over $31,000 per year (approx). That's pretty significant for the difference in roles described above. But...

  10. Too old for nursing school?

    Horseshoe replied to cookiecutter2018's topic in General Students

    Lol. Quite often, someone will say "You can do ANYTHING if you work hard enough. Don't ever give up on your dreams." Okay to a point, but some dreams are not realistic and generalizations just don't...

  16. Can I be denied clinical pl acement from an EXPUNGED RECORD

    Horseshoe replied to Davitaboi's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I read your other thread and in both that one and in this one you state that you "caught a charge." I would be careful about using that kind of terminology, as it makes it sound as if you believe this...
