    Online Rn to Bsn as schools as good as brick and mortar?

    mh0712 replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My two cents, online or hybrid is good as long as you get an actual grade and not a pass or fail which brings your gpa to a 3.0 versus a 4.0. My RN-BSN was from our state university and I had class...

    The real road to becoming a CRNA?

    mh0712 replied to TheNextCRNA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    mh0712 replied to TheNextCRNA's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    My personal opinion is that the CRNA wins because granted the argument will always be- med school and residency make you better and you do so much more; however, the numbers do not add up and some MDA...
