   davisg01 replied to Libra_8's topic in Missouri

   The answer to the gpa question varies...do you already have a bachelor's or are you entering as an undergraduate. If you already have a degree, the gpa requirement is less stringent. The advisors are pretty good at knowing what you need.

5. dosage calculation course, credit course

   davisg01 replied to carlarenee02's topic in Missouri

   The SCC course is really designed to get you through the Dosage Calculation exam that is the first hurdle for SCC's nursing school. She teaches the class to get you through the test at SCC and nothing more. My two cents worth.

    davisg01 replied to midmo's topic in Missouri

    The take away that I received from reading a bunch of these threads is this......in good economic times, in terms of getting hired, not much difference between the two....in rough times.....the BSN wins hands down. The rest boils down to this...time,...
