  12. Dismissed from Gwinnett Tech in GA, What are my options?

    Buyer beware replied to NeoNatMom's topic in School, College Programs

  17. Associates or Bachelor degree?

    Buyer beware replied to potatoz's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, well, well. Not very long ago AN conducted a poll to quantify how many nurses held the BSN vs.the AD. From what I recall it was basically 50/50. This leads me to believe that there are ADs out...
