    RainbowHead replied to l1234567's topic in General Nursing

    RainbowHead replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's interesting. There is a note right below the list of coursework that needs to be done saying that I can take a Med Term course in addition to the pre-reqs, but it's not required. I'm strongly...

    RainbowHead replied to PoppyLizz's topic in General Nursing

    RainbowHead replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sitting here trying to think of a way to respond to this. The immensity of the loss and grief those two are living through right now is too great to imagine. I hope they have loved ones to take...

    RainbowHead posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This coming spring I'm going to be starting my pre-nursing course work, ideally online. I'm thinking about getting a second job to have deposited directly to my savings account while I take my...

  13. Is saving up so that I can pay my rent in nursing school a good idea?

    RainbowHead replied to RainbowHead's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Can't use financial aid for CNA?

    RainbowHead replied to RainbowHead's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    RainbowHead posted a topic in General Nursing

    RainbowHead replied to cantgowrongwithjwong's topic in General Nursing

  20. Maternity discrimination

    RainbowHead replied to Kmendi's topic in General Nursing

    The stresses of being a nurse on top of being a new grad wouldn't be good for you or the baby. Wait until you've given birth so that it will be a more comfortable

  21. CNA disrespect?

    RainbowHead replied to cookiescardio's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
