    Microbiology before finishing A&P?

    zoe92 replied to fbrlauren's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LPN, ADN, or BSN ? Help!

    zoe92 replied to lilwonder's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do option 1. It's tuition free and a year shorter than the ADN option. Its great that you will be able to get your BSN at the end of it

    Teachers fueling the "my degree is better than your degree" problem

    zoe92 replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    You want to GrnTea to be supportive yet you just put down those studying in BSN programs or who have graduated with BSN & higher degrees. Just because someone has a BSN doesn't mean they will be a...

    I AM TERRIFIED

    To one of the other posters, not financing your child's education when you can afford to is not helping them. Setting them up for debt is more likely to make them financially stressed especially in...

    Backstabbing & Frenemies.

    zoe92 replied to MarkBird's topic in General Students

    Just ignore her. If she talks to you, ignore her & walk away. I know this sounds mean, but I think ignoring her is the only thing you can do. It sucks knowing she will probably talk bad about you,...

    zoe92 replied to laylasmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area of Baltimore/D.C. I have heard that many places are asking for ADN nurses to go back for their BSN, so I guess there is a shortage of experienced BSN

    zoe92 replied to RescueNinja123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can go into a bsn as long as you have the pre reqs done. But don't go into it just to get a job since you aren't guarenteed a job as a new
