  5. feeling frustrated by AN posts and second guessing myself

    Reese2012 replied to jlpsu's topic in General Nursing

    Reese2012 replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    My question is where are the parents to control their teenagers to make sure they don't end up in that situation. The parents are going to end up raising the kid because the "parents" are not going to...

  22. Does it make sense to get your CNA license before nursing school?

    Reese2012 replied to sincerelyjane's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
