  4. How to Support the Next Nursing Generation: The Z's

    Luckyyou replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    Luckyyou replied to Nicoleashley's topic in General Students

  7. I hate being a nurse and i'm about to graduate

    Luckyyou replied to Newtons's topic in General Students

    Luckyyou replied to Dulce3162's topic in School, College Programs

    Assuming you mean West Coast University, a quick google tells me it costs approximately $133k to get a nursing degree there. No. Run as fast as you can in the other direction. That's more than my...

  19. Working schedule what's best?

    Luckyyou replied to Jollynursy's topic in General Nursing

    Luckyyou replied to Horseshoe's topic in General Nursing

    I turn 30 this year, and have around 73k in my 401k, IRA, and a few other investment accounts. While I'm far and away ahead of all my friends in the amount I've invested, I'm aware that I'm probably...
