    smoup replied to kbbarbie's topic in General Students

    I too have a BA in psychology and will be starting an entry level MSN in the fall (a CNL program). I chose the entry level over the ABSN because I didn't need as many pre-reqs. For the MSN, I just...

  8. Rehab needs to get a clue

    smoup replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have to ask as I'm now curious. I see posts referring to "med nurse" as opposed to. . . ? At the SNF where I worked there were RN's that handed out narcs and meds like that and an certified medicine...

  9. Rehab needs to get a clue

    smoup replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    smoup replied to ilovemythreeguys's topic in General Students

    Another whose college is requiring a Littmann Classic II. Since I have no idea of the difference, and don't have a choice, I've found these threads useful to know that I'm going to be getting a good...

  14. Ordering used text books on Amazon??

    smoup replied to ilovemythreeguys's topic in General Students

    Your original post was about the bookstore, but even the book companies aren't all at fault. It's supply and demand. The faculty also assigns the books. We certainly don't choose which ones to buy. I...

    smoup replied to ilovemythreeguys's topic in General Students

    As someone who worked at her undergrad bookstore, while it seems this way, I almost guarantee you this is not the case. The bookstore has to charge MSRP, which is much higher than what Amazon. com and...
