   So we're seniors now! It's been a few weeks more and we're all starting to feel the burnout, even myself-who was amped up fully at the first part of this school year. We can't do much more than the...

   Yay! Congrats! It's definitely been a challenge but it will be worth it! Good luck to you too!! We lost another student this week. I really have no idea what went on, but after some snide remarks to...

   It's terrifying, tbh. You HAVE to stay on your game, class is from 7:30-2:10 (will go to 2:25 in Jan 17), and we spend about 3-4 hours after class lets out working on reading the chapters, doing...

14. Feeling blackballed out of RN program

    JackieHouse replied to JackieHouse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All of your advice is spot on. I'm tough, just frustrated. Fortunately I'm hardheaded and persistent enough that I'm not going to quit, just look for more silver linings. I will wait till October for...
