  1. Pregnant while in nursing school?

    RNstudent13renee replied to jmichelle820's topic in General Students

    Yes ma'am, it is very doable. Not easy, but you can manage it. I know a girl in my program that was pregnant through her last two semesters with another child at home as well, she made A's in every...

    RNstudent13renee replied to guerrerop22's topic in General Students

  7. What was your "Oh, wow--- I really DO make a difference" moment?

    RNstudent13renee replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    RNstudent13renee replied to ~Melissa~'s topic in General Students

  12. Advice about Clinical

    RNstudent13renee replied to theviolinist's topic in General Students

    RNstudent13renee replied to RNstudent13renee's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
