   Tweety, that schedule is of my own doing. Normally Patho and Pharmacology are different semesters, but you have to have Chemistry before you "advance". Since I postponed Chemistry from last summer til now, Patho was pushed ahead as well. So don't ...

   CindyJRN replied to vcannon's topic in Online Learning

   I want to point out that more and more colleges/universities are creating distance learning programs. UoP is also very popular with my business degree colleagues. Goes back to that "gotta work fulltime and have the education" theory. My own person...

10. Is medsurg a necessity for a new grad?

    CindyJRN replied to bigislandgyrl's topic in New Nurse

    I think med surg will give anyone beneficial skills needed in all units of nursing. I think it is great when people get internships in certain designations, but the hands on skills of med surg will make you more well rounded. You may not know now w...
