   BreatheDeep321 replied to joseyjo's topic in General Nursing

   I was a straight A accelerated nursing student and graduated with a 4.0. I got hired as a new grad to a position in a CVICU where you really have to know your s**t. I worked here as an ICU nurse for a couple years and now I'm earning straight As in a...

8. Almost done with nursing school and a couple interviews/job prospects

   BreatheDeep321 posted a topic in Job Hunt

   Okay, so I know I may be getting ahead of myself here, since I haven't even had the interviews yet but let's look at this more hypothetically. I still have about 6 1/2 weeks left in my nursing program (accelerated BSN). Right now I'm in my last cli...

9. University of Wisconin Oshkosh bs to bsn online

   BreatheDeep321 replied to Mwitt75's topic in Online Learning
