  2. Should I get my RN first and then bridge to BSN or should I get my BSN?

    adc85 replied to lindseynicole12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I say apply to both types of programs, ASN & BSN, and make your decision based upon where you get accepted. Take into account the cost of tuition for each program and decide. I am starting an ASN...

    adc85 replied to britthohenbrink's topic in General Students

    adc85 replied to Glycerine82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    adc85 replied to richardgecko's topic in General Students

    adc85 replied to dimple714's topic in General Students

    I wish that college advisors would tell students that a degree in biology is mostly a stepping stone to professional schools, and it's not easy to find a job without earning a masters or doctorate. I...

  14. Should You Commute To Nursing School?

    adc85 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

  16. Babies during Nursing school?

    adc85 replied to nhunter8's topic in General Students

    I don't have any kids so I can't advise based on my experience, but I think why make your life more stressful when you don't have to? You can have your cake, just eat it a little later!

    adc85 replied to SandraRuiz's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
