    scoope23 replied to Shelly202's topic in Chamberlain College

  3. Is medsurg worth it?

    scoope23 replied to RN1485's topic in Medical-Surgical

    I'm curious to see if other nurses would take a sign on bonus or relocation expenses (if applicable) knowing that there is a commitment for X amount of time to stay at the job. Sign on bonuses tend to...

    scoope23 replied to scoope23's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I'm afraid of. When you're getting offered $5-10k signing bonuses, it makes me wonder

  18. Is your school requiring you to take a specific nclex review course?

    scoope23 replied to NurseInTraining123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    When I was in nursing school we had to take the Kaplan review course after graduation. It was already included in our fees. It wasn't mandatory but since it was paid for already, you might as well

  22. Do you NEED a study group to get through nursing school?

    scoope23 replied to Student2017555's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You have to do what works best for you. I was never a study group person. I felt like every time I tried the study group thing we would get off task and waste time. If I had a pretty good grasp of the...

  23. physical therapy degree or mba after BSN ?

    scoope23 replied to jpazzi's topic in Men in Nursing
