  5. Is ADN sufficient to ba trauma RN?

    16mm replied to lena04's topic in General Nursing

  10. ADN vs BSN Battle

    16mm replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Lol. I see more bashing on this site of BSNs more than anything. Especially for pursuing a more "difficult and expensive degree" when ADNs are "better prepared clinically" and blah blah blah. I don't...

  14. Medsurg Question

    16mm replied to 16mm's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes A and B were the one I was stuck on for a little bit. My thought was that the patient was becoming dyspnic r/t anxiety of the upcoming surgery you know? So calming him may relieve the anxiety. But...

    16mm replied to Gottawanna's topic in General Students

    Coming into nursing school with a 4.0 I definitely will aim for A's but will be perfectly happy with B's or C's. I always will give my best effort though, it's just in my nature. I feel like if I'm...
