2. NP school in US or in Canada?

   carmelite replied to carmelite's topic in CA Programs

   That does sound like a good idea, but isn’t an option for me since I will be moving in the middle of grad school. The bill question is: if I start school in the US can I transfer to a Canadian school partway through my program? Or can I continue t...

    carmelite replied to ruddergrl's topic in Texas

    Just registered for skills! Lots of role playing, huh? I'm not too worried about that. I am a bit concerned if there is a heavy homework or study load, though. I am taking BIOL 1406 and MATH 1314 right now. My biology teacher is terribly disorga...

    I have 61 points. This is my second application, though. Can't imagine I won't get in this time, but afraid to say the word "definitely" (knocking on wood at thsi very moment). Got a skills petition in August but couldn't take it due to the course ...
