  1. BSN vs. ADN really does it matter these days?

    johnson_katie replied to SoCalRN1970's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of the facilities in my area are transitioning to hiring only BSN nurses and not ADN. I also heard somewhere else on the news or in a journal article that it is projected that in 2015 or so,...

  8. NVCC pre-reqs-which classes are you taking?

    johnson_katie replied to SuzyQ2011's topic in Virginia Nursing

    johnson_katie replied to SleeplessNVa's topic in Virginia Nursing

  13. NVCC pre-reqs-which classes are you taking?

    johnson_katie replied to SuzyQ2011's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Yeah, I definitely know what you mean. I didn't know you had to take 2 semesters of chem before micro.. that is kind of annoying. But on the other side of the coin, I'm sure general college chem...

    johnson_katie replied to SuzyQ2011's topic in Virginia Nursing

  18. Discouraged

    johnson_katie replied to working2b#1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Does your school allow you to take half semester courses? If it does, I would definitely try that! But I'd warn you.. it is a half semester course and you end up jam-packing a whole semester's worth...
