1. WHY do we need more nurses

   B2728 replied to getinfall's topic in General Nursing

   another poster already commented that a shortage won't necessarily translate into higher wages or better working conditions - and this is absolutely dead on correct! think about it this way: if the powers that be can convince the american public th...

2. Duquesne (Pittsburgh) 2nd degree accelerated BSN?

   B2728 replied to B2728's topic in Pennsylvania

   MollyDee, Curious - what was your first degree in? Did you have all the pre-requisites from your first degree or did you have to take some before applying? If so, where did you take them? Thanks!! Brandy

3. Moral Dilemma

   B2728 replied to MLMRN1120's topic in General Students

   I would print it out and deliver it anonymously to the instructor. They can look over the material and make their own decision if it is considered cheating or not. Also, it will probably prompt them to change the next exam to not have any of the m...

   B2728 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   B2728 replied to Mom2Chaos's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My sentiments exactly! I just started taking the pre-reqs in the hopes to gain acceptance to an accelerated 2nd degree program. For one, it seems like beyond A&P and Microbiology, every school has a different list of pre-reqs! So trying to cas...

11. Share why your current job sucks and what you hope will be different in nursing!

    B2728 replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing
