6. Record Expungement delay

   mecapon91 replied to tbrymmml's topic in Criminal

   I'm not sure if you'd say this but were you convicted of the charges? If they were dismissed that could mean a different story. But a conviction is going to give you problems. I hope that everything goes well and you are able to work this out with th...

9. Associates after Bachelors

   mecapon91 replied to Infofreak411's topic in ADN/BSN

   no form of education is a waste. I have a bachelors degree in public health and am going back to school to get my BSN. I feel my bachelors degree could only help, not hurt. So whatever you choose to do, your bachelors degree wont be "a waste".

    Thank you for responding! I am starting my classes in May and clinicals will start next March. So I'm hoping with the knowledge I gain I'll feel much more ready...and will probably have to desensitize pretty quickly! But I am not going to let this ge...

    Thanks everyone! I have always wanted to be a nurse so I don't want this to get in the way of a dream! My brother is a paramedic and he kind of gives me mixed thoughts on how I will do with this. Honestly last week with the horrible diaper...I'm not ...
