  1. What is wrong with this public?????

    itsmejuli replied to bscn_rn_10_years's topic in International Nursing

  5. Galen Tampa LPN-RN program?

    itsmejuli replied to Jess84's topic in LPN to RN

  6. NCLEX Question Rationale

    itsmejuli replied to metal_m0nk's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    That's right, stop over thinking the questions and answers. Throw out the obviously wrong answers and don't try to rationalize them into being correct. The correct answer to the question you posted is...

    itsmejuli replied to anon456's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. Best for-profit-schools in Tampa?

    itsmejuli replied to Bethany726's topic in Florida Nursing

    Considering that its a tight job market for new grad RNs here in Tampa Bay and across the country, why be in a hurry to finish up your RN by paying a lot more money at a private school. If at some...

    itsmejuli replied to desro1986's topic in General Nursing

  17. Advice on class overload or just right 4 Fall 2010

    itsmejuli replied to Mintyfreshness23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't take this load of classes together, there's far too much to learn in the 2 science classes and statistics. To get into most RN programs you need A's in all of your science classes. Both...

    itsmejuli replied to MacMaster's topic in General Students

    itsmejuli replied to zbb13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I graduated LPN last August and will be starting RN this August. I didn't find LPN school to be that difficult, I graduated with honors. I also don't expect the RN program to be much harder. I agree...
