    Hi! Unfortunately, I don't have an answer for you, but I do have a question! I am currently looking at bridging into Mohawk's PSW to RPN program. Have you really been finding it that difficult to find a job? Mohawk keeps telling us that more RPNs wi...

    melissa.22 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

    Kudos to everyone for making it through; I am especially inspired by all the stories from mature students. About five years ago, I met a Nurse encouraged me to go back to school; she said students 30+ often make excellent nurses because of their mat...
