   redstepchild replied to chandani430's topic in Alabama

   Im 36. You may want to get an NCLEX/ RN book that is an easy read and start studying early. The stuff get's thrown at you fairly quickly. You can learn right then or prelearn. That is what I have been doing, just reading and studying certain things ...

3. Virginia College RN program

   redstepchild replied to redstepchild's topic in Alabama
