    Suggestions for appeal letter

    pixiestudent2 replied to Misrak Bereka's topic in General Students

    I don't think she is actually appealing her failure. Looks like a an essay/letter asking for a second chance to repeat the class. She has to reapply for the rest to the program, and this is required....

    Nursing Diploma

    pixiestudent2 replied to BHarris92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I meant if you have a diploma, you won't ever need to worry about getting an associates degree. You can do a RN to BSN just like the ADN grads. (It's like 20+ hospitals, 500+ outpatient centers,...

    RT vs. RN? Is RT a useless profession?

    pixiestudent2 replied to AspiringRN27's topic in Nursing Career

    I asked because you said that RNs don't learn about the respiratory system. Which simply isn't true, obviously yes, RTs will know more about the respiratory system, that I agree. But it really doesn't...

    Does anyone think nursing school gives too many chances?
