   hilzaberry replied to hilzaberry's topic in Geriatric

    hilzaberry replied to hilzaberry's topic in Pre-Nursing

    @Bugsy- 1) It WASN'T one of those seedy private schools until the merger with the Phoenix College/Apollo Group. The program was extremely competitive, you needed an exceptionally high GPA before and during the program and the only reason I found it ...
