    ATI Fundamentals A and B test

    iPink replied to californiadreaming's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Is it mandatory to have a BSN in most states?

    iPink replied to bear&moose's topic in General Students

    A few hospitals in my area have made their ADN staff go back to school for their BSNs or face being fired. Good thing about it is the hospital is paying for that degree. They will no longer will hire...
