    ADD in Nursing

    RLtinker replied to Ftoll24's topic in General Students

    Even if they knew they can't hold it against you and if they did they would be breaking law. You are covered under the ADA. Not that any school would ever do that. Most schools and universities I know...

    RLtinker replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    Sometimes you can get a grade dropped or forgiven if it is a certain number of years old. Have you looked into transferring to another

    Need advice - bad grades from past degree

    RLtinker replied to average_student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need to talk to a councilor and here is why.... There is no answer that fits all schools for this because all schools have different ways of looking at transcripts from other schools and each...

    (OMG) why is text books so expensive?.

    RLtinker replied to jamaicanwanabenrs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school does something just as bad, they have some of the books customized so you have to buy their books, the thing is they are the same books with a different cover and a new ISBN number making it...

    RLtinker replied to mom2three3's topic in General Students

    RLtinker replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    They say the average person read about as fast as they speak at around 150 words per minute or something like that. I timed my self recently and found I read at about 130 words per minute, so I guess...

    What do you think of the nursing schools that churn out graduates in a instant...?

    RLtinker replied to tatempole's topic in General Nursing

    From the point of a CC... Churn them out, I don't think so. At least not at my ASN program. My school takes 60 RN and 60 LPN in the fall and in the spring. There is a 70% graduation rate and the pass...

    Hello Semester #2!

    RLtinker replied to hdawnRN's topic in General Students

    RLtinker replied to karamarie91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Chicagoing is right, it depends on the school. Typicially there are a certain number of credits or percentage that must be completed at the particular school you will graduate from. While it is...

    Student in dire need of advice.

    RLtinker replied to jmafaith's topic in General Students

    I think you maybe a bit confused. CNA (certified nursing assistants)are only in school for a few months, usually around 6 mo or so. Next up the ladder are LPN's, schooling for them is around 2-years....

    Is this Wrong?

    RLtinker replied to EMEddie's topic in General Students

    Not from my point of view, but I have a similar path in mind. In my case it's a ASN-BSN-ICU-CRNA route. Of course that takes a long time so its so long off I may find my self somewhere else. But its...

    Nursing Advertisements

    RLtinker replied to puppies1123's topic in General Nursing

    Did I ruin my chances of getting in?

    RLtinker replied to Curlygirl9195's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
