  9. SUNY Board of Trustees vote to close LICH

    DoGoodThenGo replied to NYtoFLRN's topic in New York Nursing

  14. Job market- ADN students being warned?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  15. Online statistics?

    DoGoodThenGo replied to beestrng's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Last Sunday's WSJ carried an article about statistics which is apparently the new *hot* college major. Places cannot keep up with demand no matter how many classes they add. This demand for...
