   jacq2005 replied to jacq2005's topic in North Carolina

   Choices choices choices!! I think I will apply to both and just keep taking transferrable classess at the CC, for now. Perhaps the credits will help admissions from dwelling on my less than ideal high school years! Thanks for the input!

   jacq2005 posted a topic in North Carolina

   New to ALLNURSES and love the site! I have started taking my prereqs at VGCC. This will be my first degree but I have seen numerous posts advising students to pursue the BSN route as it's often quicker (VGCC uses a point system for admission and thou...
