Yes!! People in my part (conservative West Michigan) get married in their early twenties and are having babies by my age (or younger). In fact, I'm an odd ball in that I haven't married or had kids...

I'm a brand new nurse with no experience and I've been offered a position both for a progressive care unit and a digestive diseases unit. I would be working night shift for both. As a new nurse, which...
