    Should have gone to Dental School?

    shamrokks replied to procrastinator911's topic in General Students

    shamrokks replied to SaraMC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You didn't mention kids...at least you don't have those. Nursing school consumes your life. For now everyone will need to schedule everything around you if they want your time. See if there is a way...

    shamrokks replied to jujubeee's topic in Telephone Triage

    It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it. You will probably love it if you don't mind being on the phones. We don't have to wear headsets or anything and it's laid back, voicemails can be left and...
