    PghRN30 replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    I know in my schools handbook it states that one can test to be a CNA after first 2 terms (first term is 8 weeks, second term is 16 weeks) This is in a 18 month, 6 term, RN program. Nowhere is it...

  3. Human Growth and Development

    PghRN30 replied to my4helpers's topic in General Students

    It was an easy A for me. I took it as an online course, as it was offered as such at my community college. As for what it entails, the other names it commonly goes by at some other schools better...

    PghRN30 replied to LLovelylocks's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  5. Should I take A&P I and Micro together?

    PghRN30 replied to nat2310's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    PghRN30 replied to Sl1011's topic in General Nursing

  8. will going straight to bsn from prenursing teach same rn skills adn's have?

    PghRN30 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    True, a BSN is not better(or worse) as far as quality of RN, but it is far more marketable these days. Many hospitals prefer it, or are asking RNs that do not have BSNs to pursue obtaining them (I...

  10. will going straight to bsn from prenursing teach same rn skills adn's have?

    PghRN30 replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    Yes all the nursing part should all be the same more or less. BSN will just have some extra classes that an ADN wouldnt, but then for an ADN to do an RN-BSN transition, they would then have to take...

    PghRN30 replied to Missy77's topic in General Students

  13. Annoyed by nursing commerical they keep running

    PghRN30 replied to Missy77's topic in General Students

    The J&J ones are the only I have seen.....unless you count the technical schools that promote a "carrer in heathcare" making it look like nursing when it is likely a tech, CNA or MA

  16. Do you correct your professor?

    PghRN30 replied to RN9742's topic in General Students
