    DarkLotus replied to mono2010's topic in Illinois Nursing

    DarkLotus replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. no work experience

    DarkLotus replied to brandi-007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go volunteer at a hospital or look into shadowing a nurse. Save the jobs for those of us that need them (sorry if that sounds rude). IF you end up deciding that nursing is for you then look into...

  11. Personal Statement?

    DarkLotus replied to lwatts's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DarkLotus replied to DarkLotus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey Clovery and jt (or anyone else), can I pm you my next draft? I would hate to be accused of plagerism for copying my own post on here. Maybe I'm just being too worried but I can just imagine being...

  19. Questions on Becoming a RN from a High School Student!

  23. Nursing school essay

    DarkLotus replied to truckinusa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
