    Accelerated BSN vs. Direct-Entry MSN

    Kuriin replied to eed701's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Statistics trouble

    Kuriin replied to tp003102449's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    He doesn't teach you how to use it on a calculator? What is wrong with teachers these days? The fact that they won't let you use Excel, either...mind boggling. You're going to use resources when you...

    Ex boyfriend is spreading rumors of drug use about me HELP

    Kuriin replied to vsell220's topic in General Students

    DNP/FNP (vs. FNP w/Master's degree) vs. PhD

    Kuriin replied to redjewerly's topic in Post Graduate Students

    DNP is the exact same thing as a MSN except a couple more years added to it. You will be potentially hired in managerial positions in your clinical setting (Director of the Clinic, etc.), but, aside...

    Kuriin replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Students

    I tend to love socializing with my friends, but, I've noticed my life has definitely gone down the tubes in nursing school. It's good to learn the material on your own and then study with other people...

    Should I take medical terminology (not req'd)?

    Kuriin replied to anichka's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can take it or leave it. After about a semester, you start looking at either prefixes or suffixes for root words and that generally will help you figure out what it is. My school doesn't have it,...
