4. how long did it take you to complete your PRE-REQS?

   suzeeq replied to lullaby's topic in New York

   Hi MiaNJ, Thanks for your help. They sound like a lot of work! I thought all that would be in the nursing program itself backed by a good education from school with the relevant exam passes. It's like that in the UK, more or less.
