5. Open heart IMC

   KayceeLeeRN replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for all the info! So, it sounds a lot like a regular tele unit to me (just especially for the open hearts). They also have separate tele units though...I guess I'll have to wait to hear more about it from them! The ICU enviornment sounds s...

9. Annoyed with Chamberlain

   KayceeLeeRN posted a topic in Online Learning

   I was very interested in Chamberlain and it seems like a lot of you are in the program and enjoy it. However, I've found that the advisor I've been dealing with has been very "sales-pitchy" with me, and now I'm kind of turned off. The school is very...

13. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    KayceeLeeRN replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry that I opened this can of worms. As the thread's title states I did not want to bash M.A.'s , and I don't think anyone here has. However I don't think the discussion can go anywhere productive from here. Feel free to close it. No, actually...

15. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    KayceeLeeRN replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing
