13. Is nursing for me???

    XcrMat replied to XcrMat's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Thanks for your reply. You're probably the first to actually answer my original question. Just a couple questions: What type of law did you practice? How was the transition from nursing into law school? What ultimately made you go back to nursing? Th...

14. Chance of getting into the military with a bsn from an online school like Excelsior?

    XcrMat replied to BOSS man's topic in Government

    As long as your BSN is from a ccne or nlnac accredited school. Make sure your GPA is high though. Army Nursing is becoming a great deal more selective and competitive. We had a Nurse Corps recruiter come talk to our graduating class a few months ago....
