  5. How do I know I am smart enough to become a RN?

    Elkay replied to tkesh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    @abaloney77 Wow now I am scared. What is it that causes a 4.0 student to drop so suddenly? Is it the hands on clinicals or the mass amount of knowledge in tests? I would assume that people with 4.0...

    Elkay replied to Yoshi.O's topic in California Nursing

    I've never had a facebook, twitter, and am very very happy about it. But I did have Myspace back in the day and so I know how addicting it can get. Everytime I'm at school I see almost everybody...
