    BeachsideRN replied to ericlavin67's topic in General Students

    Those grades would get you an interview at LSUHSC. So much is program specific its very hard to judge. Have you run the math to see exactly how much your gpa would improve with As or Bs in those...

    Sorry, but this comment is that of a very immature student. Pop quizzes are just that, surprise and can cover anything. FWIW, my pharmacology professor gives pop quizzes on material we HAVEN'T covered...

    BS to Bsn program vs pre-nursing adn to bsn

    BeachsideRN replied to julsca's topic in General Students

    BeachsideRN replied to AllIcanbe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Apply for as many scholarships/grants possible. Cut costs where you can. If you have a SO that will still be earning, rework your budget now so you can get used to the pay cut. And sometimes you just...

    HESI exit exam as a requirement to graduate from the Rhode Island College Nursing Program

    BeachsideRN replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    BeachsideRN replied to AllIcanbe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist
