  1. Did you take pathophysiology? How hard was it?

    Shorty11 replied to northmississippi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Shorty11 replied to Zelda21's topic in General Students

  6. Which route do I take? ADN vs BSN

    Shorty11 replied to Zelda21's topic in General Students

    I would go for the BSN. A BSN will allow you more options and you will be able to advance farther than you would be able to with an ADN. A BSN is preferred over an ADN for most registered nurse...
