2. I am DISSAPOINTED in myself...

   RileyRN2013 replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

   You said you were memorizing questions online, enabling you to pass, making it sound like you were using test bank questions... I'm a little confused that you originally start by describing yourself as a student not nearly ready to be a nurse. Once ...

5. Finished Pre-Nursing, Need help on ADN or BSN??

   RileyRN2013 replied to zawadi33's topic in Pre-Nursing

   With so many nursing students already unemployed and more graduating all of the time, BSN seems to have an advantage in the job market. In saying that, I think it really depends on the area you live in and if you are willing to move for a job. If you...

6. Online RN to BSN with no prerequisites?

   RileyRN2013 replied to caringkay RN's topic in Online Learning

   But do you want to be just a 3.0 student when advanced practice programs are becoming more competitive? Especially for a good program?

    RileyRN2013 replied to nurse033110's topic in Criminal

    A friend of mine has a similar issue with an arrest from 15 years ago. She even sent all the ppw to the CA BRN. She was told they need more, but it will work out. Cali says an enforcement delay puts your application back 1-2 months

11. Nursing School Bag - Vera Bradley

    RileyRN2013 replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

    I would suggest not spending a lot of money on a bag. They really get beat up in nursing school! Some people I went to school with swear by a rolling suitcase or a toolbag. I have a small backup I take to work.

13. Answer asap plsssssssssss

    RileyRN2013 replied to stephanie11's topic in Student Assist

    Just giving the OP the answer is doing a dis service. The other posters just wanted to know what her thought process was. Having someone else give you answers without doing any of the work yourself is cheating and a loss of a learning opportunity

    First of all, things are never going to go as planned all of the time. Nursing is a world of improv :) call the manager. Persistence is key
