  1. How to tell if a school is a "for profit" school?

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm looking into accelerated BSN (or second degree BSN programs), as well as direct entry MSN level programs. Since they're both appealing to a lot of people, I can imagine that a lot of schools are...

  2. Going from Clinical Nurse Leader to a NP?

  3. How to ask for Letters of Recommendation-Feel embarrassed!

    xInspiredx posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Am I Stupid For This, Or Does It Matter?

    xInspiredx replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. Same subject and authors but different books. Which one to buy?

    xInspiredx replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Students

    Wouldn't all of the NANDA information already be in those diagnosis books though? I still don't get why the same authors wrote books on basically the same material. I must be missing

  17. Nurse on Probation: Help with Resume & Cover Letter

    xInspiredx replied to K_Nurse's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    One suggestion is to put "ON PROBATION" right next to your title. For example, Name, RN (on probation). Also, I would briefly state why you're on probation in your cover letter, and what steps you're...

    xInspiredx replied to fran_21's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume
