    One thing I learned today is that honesty will get you nowhere in Nursing School.

    springchick1 replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in General Students

    Mini-rant on specific program topics

    springchick1 replied to PaulBaxter's topic in General Students

    In their defense, I didn't realize when I started using AllNurses that there was a state specific section or that that was the place to post questions about schools. When you're new to this website,...
