    Cruz.Cookie replied to lenaanthony's topic in General Students

    Make sure you have a "bomb " essay, the essay is what truly determines your acceptance into the program. I'm a current USF nursing student myself. Also, don't put all of your eggs in one basket. Apply...

    Should I quit nursing school?

    Cruz.Cookie replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    Omg this breaks my heart it really does. Is there something in nursing school that is dwindling your confidence ? Making you second guess yourself perhaps? If not, if I were you I would drop it. No...

    Cruz.Cookie replied to studentnurse711's topic in General Students

    Actually, I'm getting in trouble because I didn't take initiative. One of my regrets is that I didn't do it earlier. I always shadowed the nurse and that messed me up towards the end. My advice to you...
