4. Thinking about nursing school; doing pre reqs now; part time vs. full time study?

   senecagirl replied to RachelBlue's topic in General Nursing

   i'm 30 and taking the Practical Nursing program part time. It is so much more flexible and I am doing so much better in the classes. I generally have more time for family/work. I honestly think that I am learning more doing it this way. Rather th...

5. BRIDGING LPN to RN

   senecagirl replied to fiandgrace's topic in International
