1. is anyone going to Medical Careers Institute in Richmond VA??

   TypeA replied to evtykylu's topic in Virginia Nursing

   I don't think VCU has an LPN-RN program. They start at BSN. I would call Susan Lipp (Admissions Director @ VCU SON) and ask her if this is your plan. She is straight forward in most things. IMHO...

4. microbiology or physiology harder?

   TypeA replied to motherofgirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I had a med school prof for Physiology and it was HARD. But, I LOVED it. I have a fairly easy prof for Micro and it is only difficult because it bores the heck out of me. (I am not very motivated...

   TypeA replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

   This brings up another question (not meaning to hijack the thread). How does the BON look at nurses/nursing students who have been psych inpatients? I imagine that it would raise a red flag, but...

    TypeA replied to Iam46yearsold's topic in Emergency
