8. Help: Adn->bsn / absn / adn->msn

   hi616 replied to aumaha's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

   I would also say don't go the ADN route. You can't bank on being able to get experience if you do ADN before you enroll in a BSN or MSN program, so why not at least go the ABSN route or Direct Entry...

    hi616 replied to Laraine's topic in General Nursing

    I am just a student in anatomy right now so I am no expert either. But, I do agree with you. The only positive feedback systems I can think of are ovulation, childbirth, and blood clotting. I've...
