  1. Should I go for the MSN or the RN?

  2. Micro and Stats over summer

    just_cause replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    just_cause replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  7. Should the U.S. Maintain HealthCare as a For Profit System?

    just_cause replied to Mijourney's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    just_cause replied to studentnurse100's topic in Government, Military

    In all branches it is possible for those of the 'nurse corp' to become generals and YES passed 04. At this point I would say in your military job you just do well and more importantly 'don't make a...

  10. Micro and Stats over summer

    just_cause replied to smellyacres's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Current Drexel ACE'rs

    just_cause replied to rosiekay's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    You have 40 days to make a decision - do you anticipate hearing back prior to that date? If so - is it worth a 1k gamble on your deposit I'd hold out for a bit if you think you are getting in more...

    just_cause replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Government, Military

    The process itself can be very quick... the boards meet monthly (typically) and the decision is provided shortly after. The usual delay is submitting paperwork piecemeal or incomplete. This can be...
