  12. Not sure if nursing if for me

    Cali2015 replied to nhunt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I might first try to pinpoint what it actual is about the CNA work that you don't like. I would also want to know if the fear is just due to the unknown or something else. If you are in a bridge...

    Cali2015 replied to LStgo's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Cali2015 replied to RubySlippers:)'s topic in General Students
