  2. Sim Chart

    beckyboo1 replied to mytwoboysmom's topic in General Students

  3. Smokers

    beckyboo1 replied to MindySue's topic in General Nursing

    The SSM network of hospitals does not hire smokers...whether they smoke at home or across the street from the property. I'm not sure how they test for this. Also I'm not sure about other healthcare...

    beckyboo1 replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

  7. What's the Best Path to Nursing

    beckyboo1 replied to stitcher75's topic in School, College Programs

    As a med assistant, you can't bridge to anything, you'd have to go to school all over again. Since you already hold a degree, have you looked into an accelerated BSN

  8. Going back to school

    beckyboo1 replied to deweysm's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I've been an LPN for 26 years and a couple years ago started get my pre-reqs done. It's tough in some ways, but having computer/internet access is wayyyy better than the way we did papers back in the...

  9. lpn to rn? is it worth it?

    beckyboo1 replied to freesia29's topic in General Nursing

  12. Weird Feelings about Sickness

    beckyboo1 replied to cate3624's topic in General Students

    beckyboo1 replied to beckyboo1's topic in General Students
