    2 questions to start --- what time frame are you supposed to measure? 24hrs? 8hr shift? 12hr shift? Also a "glass" comes in many sizes, does your problem specify how many oz are in that glass of...

  18. LPN or Focus on PA School

    203bravo replied to Nyc327's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    26k for an LPN would also make me double think that route as well unless LPNs in your area are making close to 30 bucks an hour.... Most volunteer positions in the hospitals that I am aware of do not...

  24. I need some advice and directions

    203bravo replied to thuynh06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. Do people normally re-take the pre-req courses at a community college? It's cheaper so this would be an excellent option. 2. Are there any post bac program for pre-nursing? non that I've ever...

  25. Should I work as a SNT before applying for a nurse extern position this summer?
