  5. RN The Easy Way

    The b&m school where I had my first year of RN program had a whopping 8 hours of clinical time per week,virtually no lab time (lab was where we made up for any short time in class), and teachers...
  6. Transfering into ISU

    To what degree if any would ISU accept an EC transfer? This is seems to be rapidly accelerating into "lame" territory. 16 states now have some form of stipulating issue with EC--and now TX? Is EC just...

  16. Why get a BSN?

    I get so tired of hearing this. Because many Nsg Prgms have become impacted and competitive, the entry pre-reqs have followed the same curve. The ADN I was in required 34 units of college level...
  17. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    Can we just get over the straight vs gay thing? I'm straight and have gay friends at work and outside the hospital. The more we postulate on stereo-types, the more we perpetuate them--esp as guys in...
