    Worried about program dismissal after death in family

    meanmaryjean replied to coldcore's topic in General Students

    Can you copy where you are finding that? Because I am not- and I had a recent grad of our BSN program licensed in OR and our program does not have 960 hours. NO ADN programs would for that matter. I...

    meanmaryjean replied to CassColl's topic in General Students

    The 'extra' experience you have is not RN experience and does not replace it in any way, shape of form. I think you are worried about semantics- new grad residency and new grad programs in general...
