    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

  6. Past HRSA scholarship recipients

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to nyjcq's topic in General Students

    I have a really dumb question about this: when you're working your 2 years after graduating, are you getting paid? Or do you work for free because your tuition/etc was paid

  7. So much for address taken into consideration

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Be careful if you do this because this would NOT go over well in my program. This probably depends a lot based on the instructor who assigns the clinicals, so only you can decide whether or not it's...

  10. Need advice on my uniform fit

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to its_meee's topic in General Students

    The scrubs we can buy through school are also Cherokee, and our instructors advised us to be a size up because of shrinkage. My problem has been finding a size that is LONG enough! I need a tall top,...

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to WorkingTowardsBSN's topic in General Students

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to hurditrthere's topic in General Students

    WorkingTowardsBSN replied to ixchel's topic in General Students
