  1. RN to BSN doesn't feel right.

    fromtheseaRN replied to Student2Registered's topic in General Nursing

    another thing that helps me with the kids through school- we view me going as always a positive thing. when i leave my kids both give me high fives and tell me i'm doing a good job. they are old...

  2. How common is Valley Fever?

    fromtheseaRN replied to Misty1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    my understanding of valley fever (from personal experience as well as what we've learned in nursing school) is that the spores are airborne and if you have lived here for longer than a month, you have...

  3. Should I take pathophysiology online?

    fromtheseaRN replied to Lmarko's topic in Arizona Nursing

  4. Banner Nurse Fellows Program

    fromtheseaRN replied to UofAPNP2B's topic in Arizona Nursing

    yes, you pretty much go year round with just a few short breaks, so it still only takes 2 years ( i am not in BNF, but am in a part time program). i do not believe that banner had a lpn to rn program,...

    fromtheseaRN replied to love_4_nursing's topic in Arizona Nursing

  8. Any advice from students ALREADY in the program?

    fromtheseaRN replied to mscamat's topic in Arizona Nursing

    fromtheseaRN replied to mscamat's topic in Arizona Nursing

  15. Is Nursing Right for Me? (Holistic-Minded)

    fromtheseaRN replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    i share some of your ideals and so far, as a nursing student, i LOVE it. it's just key to remember "to each their own". don't be judgmental with your patients and colleagues beliefs, etc, and you will...

  16. Watsons theory of human caring

    fromtheseaRN replied to qt2168's topic in General Nursing

    fromtheseaRN replied to sassiebaz's topic in Arizona Nursing

    fromtheseaRN replied to mmelrose's topic in Arizona Nursing

  20. Banner Fellows Program-- Being Restructured?!

    fromtheseaRN replied to PineappleCrush's topic in Arizona Nursing

    don't let it upset you! sometimes people just don't want to hear bad news. when i went to an info session over a year ago they said they didn't know how much longer they would even be doing the...
