    Nothing wrong with being a clinical nurse (the term floor nurse is no longer used) if that's what one wants to do with their degree. Most people cannot complete a paper in 2 hours from rough draft to...

    Drea, that makes no sense. The second you post on that forum you are committed. I can see why they discourage switching around. It would be like musical instructors for

    I agree with you. I do a lot of committee work, however I charge for my time. If the majority request payment for work completed and are denied, then I wouldn't be signing up either. But if a select...

    That stinks. Have things changed to where one cannot test out of. Maybe a policy change? I read somewhere, before I started class, that they have the right to change policies as they go, so maybe this...
