4. Preceptors what do you want out of your students?

   DIV-99 replied to eukaryote's topic in General Nursing

   Any advice will be greatly appreciated! I am in the process of changing preceptors - the first was lack of communication and personalities' clash. I understand that what happened was 50 % my fault but really do not wish to repeat the experience my se...

9. UC Accelerated BSN

   DIV-99 replied to JOHIO's topic in Ohio

   Marshal, Thank you for your reply. I agree with you about UC; when I checked with them, they seemed still very confused about the transfer to semesters and did not have their curriculum straightened out. Plus, it would have been 3 years after a stupi...

    DIV-99 replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio

15. Cincinnati State Technical College-- Has anyone ever attended?

    DIV-99 replied to Julz034's topic in Ohio
