    It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    Music in My Heart replied to Kanani_Ikike's topic in General Nursing

    Music in My Heart replied to hushpupgrl's topic in General Nursing

    question about getting into a nursing program

    Music in My Heart replied to hushpupgrl's topic in General Nursing

    Music in My Heart replied to beth66335's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Music in My Heart replied to RNtobe24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Really simple: If the number of electrons equals the number of protons (the atomic number), the atom is neutral. If the number of electrons exceeds the atomic number, the atom is negatively charged....

    Music in My Heart replied to stepaukob's topic in Post Graduate Students

    No. I took the exam cold (no studying) and scored 1150. It's not that bad. Get a review guide and spend 3-6 months of diligent effort preparing. It's not a pass/fail thing but yes, you will get...

    Are accelerated programs fair?

    Music in My Heart replied to caro3334's topic in General Nursing

    The reason why the programs didn't exist before a certain point is because there was not a sufficient educational market for them. Ten years ago you didn't see the large numbers of 2nd-degree students...
