    I have been as CMA since 2002. I love it, but it became not enough fairly fast. I had to wait until I could go back to nursing for awhile, but I just started in a BSN program. Although I some times...

    Do I need chemistry?

    HeartsOpenWide replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I can not believe that the BSN does not require chem. They dropped chem at the ASN but you need organic and inorganic for the BSN I am attending. I am even more shocked that a CRNA does not need chem....

    HeartsOpenWide replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    "Just" a 2-year degree

    HeartsOpenWide replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    There is one. A BSN. But besides that, if you think about it, ASN programs could be considered three year programs if you count the pre-reqs...you can not get into nursing without them....and they...

    "Just" a 2-year degree

    HeartsOpenWide replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I think she was referring to the time frame. Two years really isn't that long (regardless of whether on no this is the hardest thing most of us will ever do) most people that get a 2-year degree can...

    HeartsOpenWide replied to evans_c1's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
