    student4ever replied to steffck's topic in General Nursing

    student4ever replied to malenursetobe@21's topic in Nursing Career

    student4ever replied to Remnants's topic in Nursing Career

    student4ever replied to scoley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    student4ever replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree. With everyone trying to sue medical professionals these days, the insurance is a biggie. Not to mention that if you were to just show up but not practice on a real person, you won't...
