Advanced patho was brutal. I took it alone because my mentor thought that would be the best for me. My classes are in 7 week blocks. Right now I am taking 2 classes so similar to your scenario ( minus advanced patho this sem) and defiantly has been l...
Mentalklarity, I cannot tell you the amount of times I have seen salary shaming within the nursing community so kudos for bringing some mentalklarity to the convo. There is no way if this was a group of physicians they would be shaming each other fo...
Esanity,

So far so good. I started my first 2 classes March 15. I feel a little overwhelmed but starting to adjust my brain. I went down to 20 hours a week at work so I can have a little downtime on the weekend. Mostly it has been a lot of discussion boards a...

Hi,
I just wanted to put in my info about this program because when I first started I was searching High and low to find out info so I knew what I was getting into. I was a traditional student for my nursing degree and went to Salt Lake Communi...

Hey, I am in the exact same boat as you are right now. I just graduated, got a job at a teaching peds hospital, and am studying for boards also. It is a ton of info, but so far I am managing, and not feeling too overwhelmed ( I know that doesn't co...
