    Agnus replied to diamond35's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  3. background check

    Agnus replied to Bailey 1982's topic in General Nursing

  6. If they're paying 50k+ out of pocket maybe they *should* expect to be waited on...?

    Agnus replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    No it has to do with a sense of entitlement. A lack of understanding of a family member who states she is a nurse yet can not understand why a family member may be asked to leave a room for 30...

    Agnus replied to Roozeyk's topic in General Nursing

    Ok I turn my back for a few minutes to attend to other things. I come back and the thread about NCLEX not being given to ADN grads in 2010 disapears. I looked all over this site. I looked to other...

  12. Anyone out there with student loan issues?

    Agnus replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in General Nursing

    Makes me feel the advanced degree is not worth the money you will be paying for it. OK that is me and my current values. I am not young anymore but that seems just too out of proportion to what pay...

  13. Don't know about you guys

    Agnus replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

  16. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    Agnus replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I might add that with the shortage of nurses and the shortage of nursing instructors I just can not see making it any tougher or longer to get nurses through their educational requirements. Common...

    Agnus replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I would like to answer your question. Could you please state it in simpler terms? I will take a stab at it here. These rumors have been flying since time immemorial. I just do not see it happening...

    Agnus replied to Kelly_the_Great's topic in General Nursing

    Agnus replied to Apollorn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes that is why it was started. I am sorry I only have my personal memory to go on. How would it change things for you if you could verify it? Since this has been long forgotten how would that have...
