    Why can't you get Financial Aid with a Bachelors Degree?

    PMFB-RN replied to thewoods4's topic in General Students

    Yes, they do at the moment. But this had changed often over the years. Currently they are WAY over staffed. If that changes I am sure they will change their standard as they have so many times before....

    PMFB-RN replied to heyitsryan's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Searching for a LVN to BSN program. Any recommedations?

    PMFB-RN replied to dannyi2yu's topic in LPN to RN

    Oh really? Do you believe that? Have you seen any of this evidence? I have never even heard of any studies that show that BSN grads make fewer errors. If you, or anyone else, knows of any studies...

    I looked into that area. I found very similar cost of living to the Twin Cities and 1/3 lower RN pay. At the time (5 or 6 years ago) new grads were only starting at about $40- $45K/year in that area...

    I am an atheist. In my career I have seen how much comfort people's religion brings them (or causes turmoil, depending on the situation). Working in trauma we often care for patients and their...
