  1. Will my backgroubd keep me from getting my nursing license?

  14. You're going to think I'm nuts

    I too am happy being a "B" student. It's interesting that after I made that conscious decision I starting making better grades and am actually watch my grades move closer to being "A" student ... no biggie either way. The elimination of the stress ...

  20. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

  21. Are you a nurse with "alternative" spiritual beliefs?

    I'm a Nichiren Buddhist. It is because of my belief in reincarnation that I am drawn to working in hospice. It is my firm belief that no religion is wrong and that "all roads lead to Rome". Since I was raised christian and am married to a jewish m...
  22. Religion in the work place

    From my experience here in the U.S. if you are asked by someone at work, especially a manager, ask them first if they are a "christian" and if they say "yes", then respond with "well so am I" and if they are some other religion, you can be otherwise...
  23. It sounds rather than dropped the charges were "dismissed" pending your satisfying the terms of the program (what they now call deferred adjudications). Again, I'm only assuming here but usually to be accepted into a program you must admit your guil...
