   Nurseinprocess replied to MNJones's topic in General Nursing

   Nurseinprocess replied to Katlin1315's topic in General Nursing

   Nurseinprocess replied to mslayt's topic in Michigan Nursing

   I don't think you do any prereqs for a bridge program, you just pick one that suits your style (some have clinicals, some are all writing papers and taking tests). I think most people pick a...

9. Older Student, Unprofessional Nurse During Clinical

   Nurseinprocess replied to Nurse Magnolia's topic in General Students

   If you are being a nutty, unreasonable, horrible patient you may find me talking about you to my colleagues. I am not one to use foul or inappropriate language, though. I only work with maybe one or...

    Nurseinprocess replied to ellisjl's topic in General Nursing

    I've never done that, but whenever I have bad dreams about work I am not dressed right and have flip flops or some other bizarre thing going on with my wardrobe. I have shown up missing an earring a...

    Nurseinprocess replied to Broadstreetbully24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not want to take on A&P with any other classes so my vote would be to take it over the summer so that is your only focus. It is a very tough class that I know many people struggle with...

    Nurseinprocess replied to NurseandMa's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am confused, when I first read your post I thought you were asking about taking a RN job that wasn't patient care. If you mean getting a first job that isn't as a nurse at all, what was the...
