    mrsboots87 replied to SmYle4PeDs's topic in General Students

    mrsboots87 replied to sarasmith594's topic in General Students

    mrsboots87 replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Students

    mrsboots87 replied to mrnightinggale's topic in General Students

  9. Nursing school accredited, but BSN program not

    mrsboots87 replied to Reese2012's topic in General Students

    As long as your diploma is from an accredited school you will be able to challenge the NCLEX. The only worry would be for furthering your education. Other accredited schools may not accept your...

    mrsboots87 replied to JLB1215's topic in General Students

    Its a sucky choice of wording on their part for sure, but most career jobs want recommendations, not just a phone number for someone you know. To speed things up, write the recommendation letters...

    mrsboots87 replied to Nursing pursuit's topic in Men in Nursing

    mrsboots87 replied to celizabeth17's topic in Nursing Career

    mrsboots87 replied to mydreamjob26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also getting your associated degree will not get you RN lisencure. You have to be in an associate level nursing program, not a pre BSN program. So taking all your pre Reqs for a bachelors nursing...

  24. What is your schedule?

    mrsboots87 replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    mrsboots87 replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    You are correct that each school will vary, and it will also depend on if you are in an ADN or BSN program. They both have the same/similar nursing core content. The difference is that the BSN degree...
