  2. Want to quit nursing school.

    SaleishaRN replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    SaleishaRN replied to Mschwab316's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    EXACTLY! And anyone who is going back for a second degree in nursing (either via an associate's program, bachelor's, or - in my case - accelerated bachelor's) will tell you that those extra classes...

    SaleishaRN replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SaleishaRN replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    I know most nurses avoid white scrubs like the plague. But with my schedule, I don't have the time or energy to spot clean my uniform; I prefer to "bleach the day

  15. Marymount University ABSN Fall 2013

    SaleishaRN replied to kmp23's topic in Virginia Nursing

    SaleishaRN replied to kmp23's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I'm almost certain that there are no on-campus housing options for second degree students; from what I've read, everyone lives off campus either in apartments near the school, or commute in from the...

    SaleishaRN replied to ql279's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I scored in the 90's for all of the sections. However, my GPA from my first degree was so-so (good, but not great), so I really wanted to score well on the TEAS to compensate for my
