    bullcityrn replied to katulka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I recently went through the same dilemma, trying to decide between continuing on the RN track or going for BSW/MSW instead. The advice I received was the same as what TraumaRUs wrote to you -- get the...

  2. Totally new to nursing

    bullcityrn replied to argy2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Argy and Welcome! You will certainly find plenty of members here who are taking the LPN route to their RN goals...I know I considered it myself. Sometimes it is easier to transition into the RN...

  4. where in north carolina?

    bullcityrn replied to paula77720's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Again...negative comments about a city from someone who has never lived there. I'm sorry you had this experience, and the conditions you describe certainly do exist. But gangs, crimes, shootings and...

    bullcityrn replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    bullcityrn replied to ChiaLing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. Moved and after one month want to go back home

    bullcityrn replied to Kb_09's topic in Nursing Career

    They say it can take at least a year to adjust to a big move...at five months, I don't think you will have given yourself enough time to acclimate to your new home, IMHO. We moved across country last...

    bullcityrn replied to MNRN22's topic in Online Distance Learning

  13. Hybrid Class

    bullcityrn replied to masstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, I can see your dilemma...however, you said you explained in the notes that it's a hybrid class, right? I still feel that would sufficiently explain the class format and will probably be...

  14. Hybrid Class

    bullcityrn replied to masstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't worry about it...I believe the majority of nursing schools that do have a problem with the online format are most concerned that the labs and/or exams are done on-campus, which you're...
