    TnMtnRose replied to zacarias's topic in Western Governors University

  2. I'm losing hope in nursing school

    TnMtnRose replied to pinkdream182's topic in General Students

    TnMtnRose replied to Jmiami's topic in General Nursing

    TnMtnRose replied to Dewailer's topic in General Students

    TnMtnRose replied to KarenCT's topic in General Students

    At 37 I took the plunge last summer :) I just finished my 1st semester of nursing school. It was scary, overwhelming, time consuming and downright nerve-wracking lol but worth it

    TnMtnRose replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    TnMtnRose replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    TnMtnRose replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

  15. Nursing school frustrates me

    TnMtnRose replied to iNsaNiA's topic in General Students
