   Chronis replied to oadewoye's topic in SRNA

4. RN vs Radiation Therapy Program

   Chronis replied to tgibs87's topic in Nevada

   Hi tgibs87: I can't really compare RNs to radiation therapy since I am not that familiar about the pay and job opportunities in radiation therapy. However I can say that the job market for new RNs is pretty abysmal right now so you might want to ke...

5. UNR RN/BSN

   Chronis replied to MrsEd's topic in Nevada

   Hi Alana, I have just completed UNRs RN-BSN program. To tell you the truth I was not impressed. While some of the instructors where great others where absolutely terrible. Honestly if I had to do it over again I would definitely go somewhere else.

   Chronis replied to Chronis's topic in ADN/BSN

   Nursel56 I think the Institute of Medicines report calling for 80% of all nurses to have their BSN by 2020 was pretty definitive. However I will include excerpts of the report below that further demonstrate the reports support for BSN education. ...
