    FDW630 replied to Nurseawesome's topic in Florida Nursing

    FDW630 replied to RNperdiem's topic in General Nursing

    Are we the same person? I generally dislike people. Of all sorts. I prefer to be left alone to work/eat/exist. I have a nasty habit of interrupting people. Not to be rude...usually because I have a...

    FDW630 replied to Jfarmboy's topic in Male Nursing Students

    FDW630 replied to Nurse_Rae's topic in General Students

    PSC, one county over (and closer than all but USF) has an RN-BSN program. Mostly 8-week classes, and the schedule is made for working nurses. Cheaper than universities, and they have a 2-semester...

    FDW630 replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    I just don't get where it is discrimination. It is a dress code. What about the schools that require the guys to wear a tie? "No fair...the women aren't required to wear ties! I I hate ties and I...
