  2. Finished ADN. What textbooks to keep for BSN program

    Gentleman_nurse replied to Gentleman_nurse's topic in General Students

    Gentleman_nurse replied to avaloncar's topic in New York Nursing

  14. Can't get into nursing school!

    Gentleman_nurse replied to jellybean321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Gentleman_nurse replied to RNdynamic's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    The HR acts same at my employer, you sure we don't at the same place! I think you got some good advice here. Yes the email reply was rough but forget them. Unless they have been a nurse they...
