  11. Fast Track Option for ADN program

    You CANNOT quicken your nursing programs pace. The situation where one student was able to is an exception to a rule and sounds like it is very rare to be approve for. Until that person commented I...

    Some programs will take you with that GPA, but usually it will be programs that have a points system for the sciences, GPA, and Teas score. Don't give up. If you can, retake the classes that you did...
  15. My first block instructors do a mix. They pull questions from both student and educator resources. But they commonly change them a bit. Like if a question wants a single answer they may change it to a...
  16. What do nurses think about doulas?

    I fail to see what being a nurse vs student has to do with knowledge about doulas. But that's cool. You are likely to get a similar response as you did here about doulas.

  22. I believed I slipped in "euthanasia" unintentionally. Eeks, as if people are like animals and should be "put down." My
  23. What do nurses think about doulas?

    And apparently you don't like when people disagree with you. Pathetic attempt at insulting me quite honestly. You asked how people feel about doulas after you bagged on them. I gave you my opinion...
  24. Bachelor's Degree Online?

    As long as the school you get the degree from is accredited, then you should have no problem getting a masters later. When applying for jobs, they don't look at if you did you classes online or in...
