    Wiggly Litchi replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wiggly Litchi replied to taylor96's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Ana01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Amen to this. @Ctran1 - your best bet would be to talk to academic advising to see what your options are; you could even talk to schools in your area. That being said, what Shibaowner says is right....

    Any CNA's out there?

    Wiggly Litchi replied to Jtingle44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CNA classes were about 12 weeks long; 1 day of skills-lab per week, plus online teaching, and 40hrs of clinicals. Check your local job market - here in my little corner of the states, they only...

    Wiggly Litchi replied to sfw57's topic in General Students

    For your car - get one of the fridgepaks of baking soda; they usually have a tab at the side that you can rip off, and underneath will be a very fine mesh that stops the powder from leaking out...

    Tattoos

    Wiggly Litchi replied to ThatChickOmi's topic in General Students
