2. ADN or BSN?

   devyn renee replied to MrsBassett's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I would say don't limit yourself on the type of degree you will be seeking. Regardless, an RN with a BSN and an RN with an ADN are both RN's and in almost all situations the make the same pay....

   devyn renee replied to devyn renee's topic in General Nursing

   devyn renee replied to beachlax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I took anatomy (our school teaches anatomy and physio separately instead of a&p1 and a&p 2), general chemistry, human development, critical thinking, and psychology. I believe it was 18 units...

7. CSU San Marcos Accelerated Bachelor's Program

   devyn renee replied to socalprenurse08's topic in California Nursing

   I am not familiar with that school in particular but the CSU system is an absolute mess right now so I am going to assume that, yes, it is probably very difficult to get into. If you're a transfer...

8. Pre-Nursing School Experience: Need Advice Please!

   devyn renee replied to SaraMC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

9. Pre-Nursing School Experience: Need Advice Please!

   devyn renee replied to SaraMC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

10. Finishing Up Pre Reqs...FINALLY!

    devyn renee replied to devyn renee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

11. Still Feeling Crummy Months After an "Incident"

    devyn renee posted a topic in General Nursing

13. Want to get job before going to nursing school

    devyn renee replied to lostsincedischarge's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Pretty much everyone I know who wants to go to nursing is going for CNA certification so that is a another option. CNA work honestly isn't very appealing to me so I was looking into EMT-B while I wait...

14. Which degree to go for?

    devyn renee replied to PassionWithAPurpose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I may have misinterpreted what you said in your original post and I am willing to admit that I also admit that I was not very clear in my own post. I am familiar with the CCNE position on the DNP but...
