  1. Help! Can they take my acceptance back?

    Fireman767 replied to chacha82's topic in General Students

    If they accepted you and took the higher levels then they probably consider you beyond the level. I didnt have to take the basic math courses because my calculus 1-3 took it's place. Usually higher...

  2. Anyone accepted into ABSN and ADN but choose ADN instead?

    Fireman767 replied to RN2Be77's topic in General Students

    Fireman767 replied to AnAppleGirl's topic in General Students

  6. EMS Training Before Nursing School?

    Fireman767 replied to chris4219555's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im an EMT (6+ years now) and i will say it is helpful to a point. EMT follows the medical model while nursing follows the nursing model. For EMT you make a clinical judgment and diagnose a patient...

    Fireman767 replied to JessicaSamunique's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Best shoes for cnas nurses??

    Fireman767 replied to Axm611291's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Fireman767 replied to yvette1222's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fireman767 replied to Yolopilas's topic in General Students

  18. Too young/ early in life to be in Nursing Program?

    Fireman767 replied to futuresctRN's topic in General Students

    In addition, the older students tend to understand that they don't want to work at mcdonalds or a supermarket. They realize that education isn't cheap so doing something over again costs much more to...

    Fireman767 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. School appealing loss of NLN accreditation - start over or take a chance?

    Fireman767 replied to leekaye's topic in General Students
