    Will the NLN review book cover most of the chemistry & physics? I keep reading that physics covered on the test is more than in the review

  4. Doula Certification/Wanting to be a Midwife

    AspiringNurseMW replied to mindofmidwifery's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  8. RN vs RN/BSN? Help!

    AspiringNurseMW replied to humboldt13's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on where you live. Here where I live in PA there isn't a preference for BSN or ADN and there isn't a huge difference in pay. So look into what they are hiring in your area. If I had stayed...

  20. A&P 1 &2 in the summer. Am I crazy?

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. CUNY: City Tech or Medgar Evers

    AspiringNurseMW replied to AspiringNurseMW's topic in New York Nursing
