    LessValuableNinja replied to Tjy7c's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    LessValuableNinja replied to Newtornworld's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that first, you need to be honest. Not doing so will likely be bad. The best place to explain this is in personal statements or essays required for the application. Don't talk about your...

  9. RN to BSN right after ADN or wait a year to start RN to MSN

    LessValuableNinja replied to Ndoht's topic in General Students

    Option C) Apply to both. Apply to the RN to BSN program. Presumably the RN to BSN will fulfill some of the RN to MSN requirements, and also make you look like a better applicant. Continue to work...

    AF, I don't have any hearing impairment, but I did work at Wisconsin TRS during college. Have you used TRS? I would "speak" with TRS and ask if they have advice on the issue. At the center I worked...
