    How is One to Make it as a Nursing Student and Parent

    Mama_Cashew replied to cjones89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish you the best of luck. Hopefully the place you attend for your ADN doesn't require transcripts from previous college work. The way it works at the college I work at is if the classes transfers...

    Mama_Cashew replied to havehope's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took my netbook to class for both my A&P classes. The teacher was a fast talker and a fast writer, and there was no way I would have been able to get everything written down if I used...
