  4. HRSA NURSE Corps Scholarship 2014

    BertG77 replied to stephanieday2's topic in School, College Programs

  11. What questions should I ask at Orientation tomorrow?

    BertG77 replied to Jen_Loves_Nursing's topic in General Students

  12. Eating healthy

    BertG77 replied to Joa1680's topic in General Students

    Smoothies made in the morning for an afternoon snack or as lunch is a must. Also, cut up fruits and nuts for snacks. I do better with more frequent smaller portioned eats. Buying and preparing...

  17. What kind of watch?

    BertG77 replied to PoodleLover86's topic in General Students

    I love swatch watches and had one before I caved and got a pebble. I could still collect swatches, there's nothing like them. Classic, relatively inexpensive and sturdy. Reminiscent of childhood,

  18. What kind of watch?

    BertG77 replied to PoodleLover86's topic in General Students

    BertG77 replied to Glycerine82's topic in General Students

    BertG77 replied to x0xerika's topic in General Students
