    wezzie, RN replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    If you know a co worker you're interested in getting to know better and say.. Would you like to get a bite to eat or a cup of coffee after work? Hardly sexy.. nothing wrong with making friends....

    wezzie, RN replied to Gentle Giant's topic in General Nursing

  5. 2.35 GPA too low for Acc Bacc BSN Program?

    wezzie, RN replied to btaveras's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school required a 3.0 in a previous BA degree to get into the accelerated program and a 2.75, going up to 3.0 soon I believe, for the traditional program as well. I don't want to discourage you...

  6. Dating someone from within ???

    wezzie, RN replied to johnny depp23's topic in General Nursing

    I think it'd be fine if you're both mature individuals and leave personal matters outside of the workplace. I don't understand that saying .. do you see relationships as "s***" ? cynical..

  10. Associates vs. Bachelors

    wezzie, RN replied to mamacashew's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The Mayo Clinic site states that anyone hired after September 2010 will be required to obtain a BSN within 6 years. Seems to be heading that way for hospitals, most at least say "BSN preferred" for...

    wezzie, RN replied to johny1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, I took Hygiene Queen's comment as tongue in cheek, not literally that she was going to be sexually assaulting male nurses in her old age and desires to do so now, merely that she finds male...

  12. How should I approach getting a BSN?

    wezzie, RN replied to tn42's topic in Men in Nursing

  13. Another nurse bites the dust due to facebook

    wezzie, RN replied to siringe's topic in Nursing News
