   br107 posted a topic in Career Support

13. ? for accelerated BSN students or grads

    br107 replied to br107's topic in General Students

    What does this mean? Is it a reaction to the quality of ABSN grads they've hired in the past? And is this just a local thing or have ABSN grads gotten a bad reputation everywhere? I'm with you guys about digging in, finishing sooner, with a higher de...
