  8. FREE RN TO BSN?

    vokaybo replied to butterflykissesxo's topic in School, College Programs

  14. Failed out of BSN Program, What Now?

    vokaybo replied to JB131's topic in General Students

    It seems as though he is doing well in his other classes since he has a 3.5 GPA. If possible, he may need to get down to the core reason he can't seem to get through this class with a passing grade....

    vokaybo replied to migo1234's topic in First Year After Licensure

    NICU is a hard unit to get into for seasoned nurses. You are a new grad. This opportunity does not come along often because most people stay in NICU once they get there. I was there for 14 years....
