  10. can I become a RN with a misdemeanor charge?

  11. RN to BSN - does it matter which school I pick?

    As long as it is CCNE accredited I don't think that it matters where; I would never go to a RN-BSN program with a clinical component though. I am doing one from the school that I received my ADN at...

    I ended up loving mental health also. Then I had ob and thought that I would really hate that and actually ended up falling in love with it, more than mental health. I also ended up really liking...
  18. RN to BSN

    In my area ADN's have an easy time getting a job, and ADN's get paid the exact same as BSN's, but it is trending toward BSN preferred. Some hospitals have started to require you get your BSN within...

    CRNA stands for Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist; if you do not have a previous bachelor's degree then you must become a registered nurse first with a bachelors degree. You will then have to...

  24. regret the nursing school i choose to attend. do you???
