  2. Why nursing?

    WoundedBird replied to samantha18's topic in General Nursing

    WoundedBird replied to Tschinault's topic in Government, Military

    No prob at all. I've gotten use to the ups and downs of GS / DoD / the like jobs with the hubbs the past 18 months or so. I would recommend trying to keep one eye on what's going on on the DoD/branch...

    WoundedBird replied to Energizerhoney's topic in Emergency

  13. Should I take a Phlebotomy course after CNA?

    WoundedBird replied to laylayluv90's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  14. I have a MPH. Should I pursue a BSN?

    WoundedBird replied to lucylooo's topic in General Students

    I didn't either and was planning on doing an accelerated program but the way pre-reqs fell, OSU was the first program I could apply to and I figured why not since I was doing my pre-reqs there...

    WoundedBird replied to Poi Dog's topic in General Students

  16. A's in Science, B or C+ in stats. Accelerated worthy?

    WoundedBird replied to lolads85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Which nursing programs should I be applying to?

    WoundedBird replied to packfan3076's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try for the grad entry masters program. I just got into one with slightly higher GPAs (3.3 overall and 4.0 pre-req) but lower GRE percentile (40th). I have a medical background in athletic...

  19. A's in Science, B or C+ in stats. Accelerated worthy?

    WoundedBird replied to lolads85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. I have a MPH. Should I pursue a BSN?

    WoundedBird replied to lucylooo's topic in General Students

    I'll be entering into Ohio State's grad entry program for Clinical Nurse Leader in June. I know it's not geographically where you're looking, but take a look around at their offerings to see how the...

  22. I have a MPH. Should I pursue a BSN?

    WoundedBird replied to lucylooo's topic in General Students

    I would look into grad entry programs too since you already have a masters. The one I applied to waived the GRE requirement for having an advanced degree (masters, JD, etc.) and there might be some...

  23. Whats your biggest pet peeve working in the ED?

    WoundedBird replied to Whts_Ur_Emergency?'s topic in Emergency

  24. Which nursing degree do I need when I already have a BA & MA

    WoundedBird replied to kmhcasper's topic in Nursing Career
