   WorseNurse replied to RNBearColumbus's topic in Ohio University

   A word of caution for WGU. My friend goes there and you the way they classify their classes, you can't get higher than a 3.0 on your GPA with classes there. So if you plan to go past BSN, just know this.

6. NO flashcards--use quizlett

   WorseNurse replied to Valcorie34's topic in Share Tips

   Quizlet and cram.com are nice, but I still like making flash cards. Writing the material out helps you remember, and I think once the flash cards are made you can cycle through them faster than you can with the online programs. You can also filter ...

   WorseNurse replied to Jory's topic in General Nursing

   I hate it when my coworkers act like it is ridiculous that they be expected to come in during bad weather. People still need to be taken care of. I do think it is shady to deny you PTO though.
