8. Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

   ashburns4ever posted a topic in General Students

   I am graduating in 3 weeks and just found out a few hospitals (magnet + tgh) will NOT be hiring AS degree RN's starting in Jan 2012. They have a new policy in place that requires all RN's to have a BS by 2018. That part is okay b/c I plan to get a BS...

   ashburns4ever replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

   I remember my very first day of my first semester. The first thing the instructor said was "we don't want to hear about you or your families problems, so leave the stories out of the lecture". Definitely takes up way to much time when people do thi...

    ashburns4ever replied to Missy89's topic in Florida
