  3. Moving to GA, so confused, help!

    psycheab replied to JWalt's topic in Georgia Nursing

  5. Does the perfect program exist for me?!?!

    psycheab replied to mls052603's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly, 2.5 years seems like a crazy long time to wait. I imagine you have done a lot of research (at least, it sounds like it), so let me just throw this out there. I would consider University of...

  9. A worn out topic

    psycheab replied to artistnurse's topic in General Nursing

  10. Flexible RN programs?

    psycheab replied to whit_sb's topic in General Nursing

    From my experience...flexible and RN program don't really go together. I don't want to sound negative, just realistic. I completed a program (another state) and they were constantly throwing things at...

  11. Is Jacksonville State a good nursing program?

    psycheab replied to HSteach's topic in Alabama Nursing

    If you go to the Alabama Board of Nursing website and look up all the nursing programs, it details how many people sat for the NCLEX and how many passed percentage-wise by school. Looking at that, it...

  12. Licene Renewal and CEUs

    psycheab replied to psycheab's topic in General Nursing

  16. SWIC

    psycheab replied to KJNIllinois's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Trace10, If you were to take Bio 157 this fall, then whatever grade you got in that is the grade they would factor for your points as it would be the most recent grade earned. However, if you were to...

  17. SWIC

    psycheab replied to KJNIllinois's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I have to agree with DragonflyLVN about the Accelerated BSN thing. If you have the time and think you could handle the intense courseload, I think it would be well worth it. I'm saying it as both a)...

  21. Need advice about nursing school?!?!

    psycheab replied to mara1419's topic in Illinois Nursing

    From a pay standpoint, I have heard that there really isn't that much difference between someone with an ADN or someone who has a BSN. However, and this is coming from someone with their Associates, I...
