    Pianoplaya94 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. ADN or BSN: What's the Big Deal?

    Eli from Grey's Anatomy. To be fair, there are only a couple of medical shows that I watch and he's the only nurse I can think of... but I like

  17. Nursing school or not? ADN or BSN?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to kierstinb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go straight to BSN. It's interesting, I didn't know an associates degree is possible to become an RN. Where I live (Canada) all RNs are required to have BSNs. What is the difference in scope...

    Pianoplaya94 replied to Pianoplaya94's topic in General Nursing

    Oh yeah I know residents are MDs, it was the attendings (after residency?) that I never saw. Maybe once a day. The residents were very cool and friendly to everyone. I agree that they are so eager to...

    Pianoplaya94 replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well it depends on what the school requires. But if the school only says you need that course (but doesn't specify I grade), then I wouldn't re-take it. 81 is an A-, that is a great

  25. BA to ADN/BSN/Direct Entry or Medical School or MPH?

    Pianoplaya94 replied to SophieRay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
