  6. Should i drop patho or a basic class?

    dragonfly414 replied to wolph's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    dragonfly414 replied to dragonfly414's topic in General Nursing

    I was in a similar situation and the fastest way to improve your gpa is to retake anything you have a C or lower in. I had one course on my transcript that I got a D in and after I had retaken it my...

  13. DONT JUDGE ME!

    dragonfly414 replied to juswannabenurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    yup, agreed it is very addicting. I don't check it quite that often, but when I do check it I get sucked right in for WAY longer than I should! The funny thing is I've been making fun of my boyfriend...

    dragonfly414 replied to dragonfly414's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. What gives with the unsupportive spouses?

    dragonfly414 replied to dragonfly414's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. What gives with the unsupportive spouses?

    dragonfly414 replied to dragonfly414's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    dragonfly414 replied to dragonfly414's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
