  11. Should I quit nursing school?

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to mara.bug's topic in General Students

    I'd vote for finishing because you are so close and nursing will be a great way to pay for that psych PHD. It doesn't have to be one or the other! A phd will take several years, so a part time, well...

    Peanut&Buttercup replied to anc9513's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd offer to take the supervised test, if they are still open to it. If not, I'd probably find a place to have it done and pay for it myself. Your word vs. Your coworker's word comes down to a coin...
