  15. NJ Nurses ONLY

    Why NJ only? Isn't this an issue

    At the very least the student in question could appeal the dismissal and ask for a meeting with the DON head to ask why she or he was removed from the program if approval was already in place that...
  17. Transition or full RN program?

    First off, what are transition requirements? I know to transition into my school's program you need to take some sort of LVN entrance exam thing. It doesn't much matter that you have your LVN or not,...
  18. Can you succeed in BSN programs without Chemisty?

    I am only in an ADN program, but Chemistry is not a requirement of it. However, three of the BSN programs I am looking into also do not require it. I know other programs though that have required it....

    I honestly tired. I have a great routine that I love. But I spend like 2 hours in the gym, and it got to the point where I was feeling guilt for not studying during those two hours. Or for taking a...
  24. Not having a car during nursing school.
