    kdrose01 replied to Brian's topic in General Students

  10. Just took nclex today and I feel cheated

    kdrose01 replied to Sejl90's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    kdrose01 replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As someone with a BSN, BA in English and years of experience in the corporate sector, I agree that solid writing skills are essential. However, colleges today do not seem to think so and, as a result,...

    kdrose01 replied to Michellepa's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Pro: You're in and out in one year. Con: You have to cram an extraordinary amount of info into your brain in one year. That's seriously all I can think of just now, but tomorrow's my last day of the...

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I was just thinking more about your post. My bigger concern with planning your weekends now is that you don't have your overall schedule, so you have no idea when your exams are, and exams are...

  22. Jefferson FACT 2012

    kdrose01 replied to mrs.ty's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing
