    EaglesWings21 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have kids and work and am in nursing school, so some days I feel slight jealousy for those who have no kids or responsibility. My school also only accepts people based of grades and TEAS score. I...

    EaglesWings21 replied to Lpn2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
