   It was my day off. I met my date for "coffee or drinks" at an eclectic little side shop downtown. The conversation was stimulating and not the typical first date interrogations I've experienced in the past. We talked for an hour and then left the ...

   I'm almost halfway through my accelerated program but I'm feeling depressed. School is going well and I'm interested in the material but I'm not convinced I'll be prepared as a nurse when I graduate and I'm always worrying about the 40k debt I'll ha...
