  1. Best ABSN Programs

    windsurfer8 replied to ntgibbs's topic in General Nursing

  2. So frustrated and discouraged - kinda long.....

    windsurfer8 replied to flying_ace2's topic in General Nursing

    A big part of becoming a nurse and getting the BSN is jumping through the hoops. That part of nursing school is as important for weeding out certain people as are the classes. How bad do you want...

    windsurfer8 replied to sweetpumpernickel's topic in General Nursing

    I have two bachelors...Business and Nursing. Being a nurse is hard work..but what isn't.. The KEY is thinking hard and making a decision. What do you want to do? I know a guy who is a...

  6. Honest Opinion - Marymount Accelerated BSN - 2010/2011

    windsurfer8 replied to bsn_in_2011's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I mean...if you are going for the cheap route...then Arlington VA is not the place for you. Have you looked at schools in Wyoming, Nebraska, South Dakota? I am not even kidding. You have to make...

    I am 6'3 male nurse. I ALWAYS raise the bed up when doing my work. Also...a lot of it is taking care of yourself on off time. I eat very healthy diet. I keep my weight under control to protect my...

  8. Wyoming RN's?

    windsurfer8 replied to Dino's topic in General Nursing

  10. What to do?....Marymount or Catholic University

    windsurfer8 replied to Dannied's topic in Virginia Nursing

    You can forget those rankings. All that matters is do you have a license. No employer is going to hire you if you went to Catholic over MU. If you are smart, hard worker, and reliable...then you...

    windsurfer8 replied to metrogirl's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I graduated from MU accelerated BSN in '09. I had a great experience there. To the people who say it is "disorganized"....if you can't deal with some challenges in college then get out. Guess...

  12. Is this a sign?

    windsurfer8 replied to laski's topic in General Nursing

    If you are planning to be a nurse I would say you would want more than "a sign". Things come up all the time...what if in your first semester of nursing school you get "a sign" that you should be a...
