   twigszoo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   If you read back to her post you would see she went for an Accounting degree, not a nursing degree at a community college. So that was 4 years of college. Depending on her state of residence, that...

2. The student loan bubble is starting to burst

   twigszoo replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   Thats a pretty narrow view to have. I'm sure nobody wants to default on their student loans. Say somebody took your advice to get a menial job (if they didnt have one already) how much do you think...

5. Why info on white culture omitted from cultural compence in textbooks?

   twigszoo replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

8. Why info on white culture omitted from cultural compence in textbooks?

   twigszoo replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

   The book just puts emphasis on stereotypes, if you are that interested in learning about "white culture" (whatever that may be) then you can probably google the search to find some sort of...

9. Do I have any options?

   twigszoo replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Took Micro last year, and it was literally the EASIEST and best class I have ever taken-- and I am not a science orientated person at all. Don't stress too much, if you have half a brain you can pass...

15. Getting Past Squeamish Feeling

    twigszoo replied to BigRed86's topic in General Students
