3. Two Rejection letters. Didn't get into nursing school.

   gamecock_24 replied to mnegash86's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am going to echo what the other posted said; what is your pre-req GPA? How many schools did you apply to? If you only applied to two schools, I think you are going to really have to expand your selection of schools with your GPA (Assuming that is y...

9. stressing- how do you pay for nursing school

   gamecock_24 replied to CNA2day's topic in General Students

   I just want to say that is not necessarily true. When my husband was attending college we could not get him declared as an independent student. He had not lived with his mother since the start of his senior year of high school and was never filed on ...
