  3. So...I definitely just failed Med-Surg :(

    Nursing_Mamacita replied to Nursing_Mamacita's topic in General Students

    NO. I get bored in the traditional 16 week courses. They do not offer any challenge to me. I will admit Med-surg was hard, extremely hard, and I do feel that they should split the class in half...

  11. What is the best way for a student to find employment in healthcare?

    Nursing_Mamacita replied to Midwest Mark's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
