    Laraine replied to BookWorming's topic in General Students

    Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Laraine replied to Laraine's topic in General Nursing

  20. Do you have a plan B?

    Laraine replied to stewartfamily2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely do something to be moving forward. Show the Universe that you know what you want. But anyway, why wouldn't you get in? Is it so competitive where you are? kindly,
