6. Is Compton College safe?

   Arrghh_Nnnn replied to tigertjc's topic in California

   You'll be fine. Go to the BRN and see which one of the schools your are considering has a better NCLEX passage rate; That is how I would decide. Have you thought about Harbor?

8. Nursing shortages, Baby boomers and the immigrant nurse Part 2

   Arrghh_Nnnn replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

   Oh please spare me the kumbaya and/or American racist/discrimination argument. Do these discussions have to be plagued with bipolarity? This is a gray issue. I am a natural born American, I was not raised with a sliver spoon in my mouth. I worked ...

    Arrghh_Nnnn replied to Tracey2bRN's topic in General Students

    I hate them so much! Total waste of money and time. Skills labs with senarios are sooooo much better because you actually have to practice your skills and think through the crisis or task at hand. Hate VCE's with 2 snaps up in a Z formation! -SIS
