    Buyer beware replied to Cookies17's topic in Addictions

    Buyer beware replied to amiss5572's topic in Operating Room

    Buyer beware replied to mwpayne's topic in General Students

  5. Nursing in 2017?

    Buyer beware replied to ImSoConfused.'s topic in General Nursing

  9. Why do online courses cost so much? I'm baffled.

    Buyer beware replied to SHGR's topic in General Students

    To me online courses are merely nameless nome moderated message boards where the dummie is required to post twice a week. If this isn't bogus enough the online scam is the wave of the past , present...

    Buyer beware replied to dbabz's topic in General Students

  11. Patient Satisfaction: A New Priority

    Buyer beware replied to AnnoyedNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  15. Nursing Schools in Louisiana

  16. Do you ever want to escape nursing profession?

    Buyer beware replied to thida's topic in General Nursing

    OP, I just want to validate that you are right about the "we called you off, didn't you get the message" line. It's classic BS. Once again if it doesn't affect me, what's wrong? It's gotta be you....

  17. Programs in Florida

    Buyer beware replied to snuttall's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It does truly matter how much you pay for a BSN. As such stay away from the for-profits that have proliferated throughout Florida. Across the board they have callously set up their ground schools...

  18. Need guidance

    Buyer beware replied to gaben7's topic in General Students

  19. Desperate to start school

    Buyer beware replied to nickysdestiny's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    OP, I hear in your post a certain desperation. That's the self-defeating thing. The redeeming statement is that you've seen through the debt prison that the for-profit DeVry owned Chamberlain will...

    Buyer beware replied to StudentA--'s topic in General Nursing
