    ShannonB25 replied to realnursealso/LPN's topic in General Nursing

  4. ADN and BSN clinical requirements

    ShannonB25 replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, this is a really valid question. My BSN program offers 2 clinical days a week from the first semester of the program. Averages out to ~1200 clinical hours by the end of my BSN program. From...

  7. BSN minimum requirement

    ShannonB25 replied to Lburns's topic in General Nursing

    Buck227, I'm sorry but your post made my jaw hit the floor. I cannot believe the negative biases you hold toward BSN nurses. This is ridiculous. You stated that "if you fail a course in a...

  10. What Freaks You Out?

    ShannonB25 replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

  11. nursing student is thinking about throwing in the towel after first semester.

    ShannonB25 replied to Lynn Casey RN's topic in General Nursing

    Elenaster, I think you summed the flexibility of nursing up beautifully. It was also nice to hear encouraging words directed toward the original poster. Peaceful2100, it can most definitely be done....

    ShannonB25 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    ShannonB25 replied to laurasjj's topic in General Nursing

    I have a Littman that I bought for about $68. My question is should I buy a more advanced Littman after graduation (like a cardiology) or is there not much difference? I might even ask for one for a...
