    wannabeny replied to NSU2020's topic in Florida Nursing

    It all depends on you, and your job atmosphere & flexibility; I'd have a sit down with your boss & see how he/she feels about a changing schedule every few weeks. You might have clinical on a...

  6. 2.5 GPA, is there a possibility for nursing school

    wannabeny replied to laurenskay's topic in California Nursing

    wannabeny replied to CRNAhopeful87's topic in Florida Nursing

  8. Nurses Eating Nursing Students

    wannabeny replied to Cisabel's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No, I did not know that. Even things that seem so simple to do in theory..turning a patient to change them, is in reality much harder than it seems when you don't have the experience to know how to do...

    wannabeny replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

  14. Broward College Nursing Program January 2017

    wannabeny replied to iwillbeanurse2012's topic in School, College Programs

    wannabeny replied to NSU2020's topic in Florida Nursing

    wannabeny replied to The_Optimist's topic in General Nursing

    Good rule of thumb; if they aren't paying your bills they have no leg to stand on when judging your choices. Your mother is the one who is supportive of your goals, so stick to her corner and block...

    wannabeny replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    some people in my family do the skip-nursing-be-a-doctor speech. My mother is as skeptical as they come of doctors..I was born 4 1/2 months early & when she went into labor & went to the...
