   It's been a fantastic semester so far. I can only speak for myself but I am really enjoying school at IUPUI, even though it's quite stressful at times (this is a busy semester as far as getting a bunch of beginning nursing classes out of the way, th...

   I haven't yet but will start looking at books, etc. as soon as I'm registered. Is there a book list out yet or do we have to wait for our syllabi?

   I was thinking about that block too - any block where I don't go in on Thursday would be fine by me. I wouldn't mind going in to research the patient so much if it didn't involve a special trip up there just for that....hopefully in future semesters...

   Richard, I do think that the Army, especially right now with the Iraq war, is probably going to offer the most mobility opportunities - my husband's brother was in the Army for 20+ years and went just about everywhere in the world that you could poss...

10. Which branch is better for nursing?

    sholtzma replied to M3olatomiwa's topic in Government

    Thank you, Gen. It is true that there is a BIG difference between an acc. BSN and an acc. BSN for degree holders. Wasn't even thinking..... So would it be wise to join as an officer (pre-"BSN" but in the program already, so guaranteed to at least be ...
