    nurseletDZ replied to LovingMom1's topic in General Nursing

  18. Direct Entry Program for New Nursing Career?

    nurseletDZ replied to arsickler's topic in Nursing Career

    A lot of programs, including my BSN program, "pre-admit" you to their MSN program but give you a couple of years to get experience before you start the second leg of the program. I would look for...

  25. The Puberty Talk

    nurseletDZ replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    The kids are going to have questions but chances are they won't ask out loud in front of people. Maybe pass out notecards for each one to write a question and then go through them afterward. It's also...
