4. Associate Degree or BSN?

   Go for the BSN. Whatever anyone posts here about ADN's having better clinical preparation, or that the associates degree is a less expensive alternative, you are going to have a much tougher time finding a job with an associates degree. I have a BA...

   scutari212 replied to hobosn's topic in New York

   Believe what you have read here. I was a student at Pace, and it was one of the greatest and most expensive and horrible mistakes I ever made. I've have had clinical instructors in another program who attended Pace, and they have little good to say ...

   One more week of OB clinical hell and I can't wait until its over. I've had no issues with the nurses on our unit. In fact they have been supportive and encouraging, and thoroughly understand that I feel out of sorts. I loved the NICU, and admired t...

8. Ob rotation

   scutari212 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

   I just wish I could put my time and energy to focusing on areas where I want to work. I loved surgery and a 4 hour visit to the OR was not sufficient. Also the reality is that most of us will be far more likely to work with elder people than with ch...

   The doll is meant as a teaching tool but she keeps picking it up and carrying it. Indeed very weird. Some of us were thinking of kidnapping it and sending her a randsom note. She is the peds instructior. Our OB instructor is far to down to be playing...

11. Ob rotation

    scutari212 replied to CrazziiRN913's topic in General Students

    I am beginning my OB rotation except for the fact that the instructor is an awesome cool woman,I hate this rotation, only somewhat less that Peds which is taught concurrently. The Peds instructor is a wind bag who loves to hear herself talk, carries ...
