  1. I always take help for inserting IV

    wrigh146 replied to newsupernurse's topic in General Nursing

    wrigh146 replied to Mr.York's topic in Nursing Career

    Be aware, all CRNA programs I am aware of require a minimum of 2 years critical care nursing experience. This would mean if you were accepted into an accelerated BSN program (one year minimum to...

    wrigh146 replied to raianne's topic in General Nursing

  13. Nevada State College

    wrigh146 replied to meg_foster0618's topic in Nevada Nursing

    baker1bv, is the NCLEX pass rate still high? All I can say is, if you are local, it is still the fastest BSN program for the money. If the NCLEX pass rate remains high, I say go for it. Of all the...

  18. CSN vs. NSC, please help.

    wrigh146 replied to RRborromeo's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Critical thinking skills are essential. The sooner you start gearing your mind to approach things from an evidence based standpoint, the better you start "out the gate" as a new grad. A bachelors...
