    Terpole replied to SDA3694's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing School vs. Reality

    Terpole replied to BeOne77's topic in General Nursing

    Nursing school is nothing like how your job will be. In school, things exist in sort of a perfect vacuum. The term is akin that you have everything you need to practice, medicine has no influence...

    Not Sure If Nursing Is For Me

    Terpole replied to D.C.Guy's topic in General Nursing
