    nola1202 replied to auntie72's topic in General Nursing

  15. slower paced nursing in long term care?

    nola1202 replied to pepsi115's topic in General Nursing

    nola1202 replied to xmissxscarlet09's topic in General Nursing

    Weeding out in the first semester really is what is happening. You will find a bunch of people gone by the end of your first year. The advice I'd give is study hard, and make sure it isn't you. You...
