1. Running out of time...

   Do you already have prerequisites done for your bridge program? I have none done as it's been years since I was in college and am concerned about that... OP where are you located? I know SoCal is super impacted so I'm unsure about the route to take a...

   I'm 21 but I have a toddler and I don't want to live in an apartment still when she's 7, know what I mean? I do like the pay of my job, but RNs have so many more opportunities. How much did your friend have to take out in loans? Ugh such a headache t...

   Yeah, no kidding. Home health gets really lonely, real fast. Especially when your patient has a bad time one night and you're the only one there. I've never heard of Bethesda, how was that school? I went to Concorde and it was nice but super expensiv...

   I am tired of California as well. Too many people, people are generally rude or grimy (at least in my area) and the job market is tough. Where did you go to school, Girlafraid13? How are you liking home health? I have home health experience as well b...
