    Finish my degree or quit and do nursing

    MotoMonkey replied to ChristinaVL's topic in General Students

    My advice is to finish what you have started as I think it will open more doors for you. I would certainly look into both traditional BSN programs as well as accelerated programs, seeing as how you...

    What do you wish you had known?

    MotoMonkey replied to TmooreA's topic in General Students

    Their statement is in NO WAY generalization to my program. There is no one out to get me, and no one is looking for excuses to fail me. Unfortunately, I think my supportive nursing program may be an...

    Need advice for my future

    MotoMonkey replied to TheDongTran's topic in General Students

    The overwhelming stress of nursing school

    MotoMonkey replied to OsceanSN2018's topic in General Students

    OHSU BSN Fall 2018

    MotoMonkey replied to ans1316's topic in School, College Programs

    MotoMonkey replied to Sherijo71's topic in General Students

    As a student I know that there may be skills I am never able to practice prior to my practicum or prior to working as a nurse. I have been lucky enough to place three IV's in my last acute care...

    Questions about BLS

    MotoMonkey replied to sandyisb914's topic in General Students
