    dt70 replied to mmcc26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you want to make the "Presidents list" or is Phi Theta Kappa/Phi Beta Kappa good enough?

  2. Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    dt70 replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    This is a location centric issue in a non location centric thread. Kinda like having a friendly discussion on "what should I wear today?" in a non location centric thread. Some solutions are forced...

  3. Why do Nurses tell students to go BSN??

    dt70 replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    My area BSN is not necessary unless you want management position. But if you want that you'll need a few years experience or prior management experience. By that time, and ADN graduate who worked...

  5. iMac or MacBook!

    dt70 replied to nurseprince2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    None of my classes nor I, require any gaming. $500 pc laptop would be enough for nursing school. $1000 for a Mac air is worth every penny if figured into budget. I only mentioned ps3 for people who...

  11. Bad reviews vs NO reviews (ratemyprofessor)

    dt70 replied to 16mm's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bad reviews are also a reflection of the reviewer. I received an A in one class. Some students had a D. If we both left a review of the instructor, I'm sure there would be different ratings. I...
