    ACLS question

    Cinqly replied to dyaryan's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Salary vs. Teacher Salary?

    Cinqly replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    It didn't cost more time and money. It cost more EFFORT. If you make the effort to have a broader general education, including additional nursing classes, should you not be compensated for that...

    Is the NCLEX the same in every state?

    Cinqly replied to NSchoolAgain's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    From what I have read on the NCLEX testing site, the test is a national test and thus the same in every state. The whole purpose of a standardized, nationalized test is that so each student has an...

    I wouldn't go so far as to say they are any "harder" than other programs, because nursing school is hard no matter what. However, the U of M program is tough, and it is demanding. Not everyone made...
