7. How Far do you want to go in your Nursing Education?

   rys22 replied to MusicEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Working towards ADN right now, then get a job and work on my BSN online. I will see how I feel with that but at this point, being a NP is an option but not one I'm focusing on. Simply because, by the time I finish all this, I know I will just want ...
