I too want to send out a big THANK YOU to everyone on this site. As someone who decided to switch career goals late in college (6 months before graduation) and dealt with that stress of the unknown, I...
haha. Yeah, I've read some previous posts and it definitely gets viscious. Didn't want to start an argument at all. Just trying to get insight as I move into the
In response to one of the above statements, do you think the accelerated MSN students thought about the ramifications professionally of not having the basic skill sets down? The reason I ask is...
