   Scottish_nurse replied to Scottish_nurse's topic in Mississippi

   Hi there, thanks for replying to my thread. I didn't know you could pull up classes and take them, what about clinical hours? I believe I may need to do those for the OB, pediatrics and even mental health (despite me doing a 4 week clinical and a 4 ...

    Scottish_nurse posted a topic in Mississippi

    I am currently a student nurse doing my BSN here in Scotland in the United Kingdom. I was told I need to do classes for OB, pediatrics and possibly mental health as they're specialized roles in Scotland not apart of the BSN degree anymore. I am wond...

14. From Scotland to the U.S?

    Scottish_nurse replied to Scottish_nurse's topic in International

    I know I would have thought the uni would have at least know some info but its ok. I will just have to send my transcripts off. Can I still practice as a LPN or does that require the NCLEX too? My mother in law (who lives in MS) had asked me about ...
