  1. What is your school's dropout rate?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Dre2416's topic in General Students

    I would almost venture to say the majority failed out rather than dropped out. We started with 18 and 14 graduated. Four failed out during the program. Nursing school is difficult. However, one thing...

  5. Head to toe assessments on classmates?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

  6. Should I finish nursing school when so close to the end?

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to jazz1915's topic in General Students

    Your last semester…you have to finish at this point. Even if you decide not to work as an RN, I would finish and sit for NCLEX. So that if in the future you change your mind, you have it to fall...

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to amanda081106's topic in General Students

    ParkerBC,MSN,RN replied to Karolyte's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I did a CINAHL search for “labor pains” and it yielded me 9 articles. I also chose “peer reviewed” as criteria. Perhaps there isn’t much research about labor pains. I did a second search...
