   Yet another RN to BSN question....

   Mrs Badcrumble replied to MomRN0913's topic in General Nursing

   Check out Western Governors University. They appear to be quite reputable and not at all sleazy like the for-profit schools ie University of Phoenix, etc. No one should go into crazy debt to get their BSN! And no, I don't work for them!

    Hi Heather, I think if you read the question again you'll see that the things they mention (church, volunteer, etc) are really just suggestions for you. I would focus on "activities" and "personal interests". For example, I've been involved in ad...
