    Jennerizer replied to CaterpillarGirl's topic in General Students

    We normally have semesters....but for pediatrics & obstetrics...the semester is divided in half & we get 2 separate grades---so it's like quarters. I much prefer the quarters. It's nice to...

    Why agency pay more?

    Poll about pre-planning.

    Schools are more focused on having high nclex passing rates...that is how they remain accredited (among other requirements). So of course they are going to try to weed out those that don't do well on...
