  1. Shady Nursing Schools

    WorseNurse replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Nonsense. I got my RN through Excelsior and thought it was a great experience. It isn't easy, and I've seen a lot of people blame that school for their own failures. I'm now a critical care NP...

  5. Excelsior ADN to OU BSN

    WorseNurse replied to RNBearColumbus's topic in Ohio University

    A word of caution for WGU. My friend goes there and you the way they classify their classes, you can't get higher than a 3.0 on your GPA with classes there. So if you plan to go past BSN, just know...

  7. NO flashcards--use quizlett

    WorseNurse replied to Valcorie34's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    WorseNurse replied to SleepingTiger54's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
