   I would say go for it while your baby is little. They're much more easy to work around then, and if you wear your baby, s/he can nurse on demand, get all the benefits of skin to skin, get all the...

3. What was the best thing about CNA school?

9. Nursing school advice! PLEASE help

   autonomyforall replied to Queeenp45's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I would advise against a for profit school. Have you looked into getting an ADN from a community college? You can get your BSN as you're getting paid as an RN. Personally, I went through the same bad...
