  4. I had to take both classes for my BA for my first degree. I would have to say that logic and critical thinking will help you out much more in your nursing career than the philosophy course. Neither...
  5. Are all states as bad as Georgia?

    Northeastern Pennsylvania here! I am accepted into my community college's ADN program, to start in the fall. They had over 2000 applicants for 150 spots! That is crazy. I did not know this until I...
  6. At what age did you decide on nursing?

  7. What would you do?????

    What would the third class be? If it is something easy, i would say go for it. It all depends on what the class is, and what all else you have on your plate. If it were me, I would probably suck it...

  15. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    While I do not agree with getting your grade lowered, I do wonder why you would not help out a classmate. Your clinical instructor must have thought that you were capable enough. And when you get a...
  16. Alternates ..why not just give them a number??

    Okay, going on the lines of what one1 said: Maybe the school really doesnt have a numbered alternate list. Maybe there is just a group of diverse students that are next eligible for the program....
