  1. Time to call a duck a duck?

    NurseRobbi replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This thread is getting old. I worked hard to get where I am. I worked all the way through nursing school, my BSN program and still working full time while in a masters program. With each step of my...

    NurseRobbi replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I can't think of too many laborers that make 100 thousand a year, or spend several years in college to receive the education required to do their jobs, so I must respectfully disagree. Nursing is a...

    NurseRobbi replied to mr.hustle's topic in LPN to RN

    my experience with the 30 unit option has been mostly positive. It didn't require as many of the redundant prereq's and I was able to complete it quickly. Many of the 30 units I was able to test out...
