   alinkastar replied to alinkastar's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Their programs are accredited and some are only approved by Idaho board but graduates are allowed to sit for nclex after completion. That's all that matters. Their clinicals are in major hospitals, and I checked, hospitals here do hire their graduate...

    Oh, that's horrible, SammiN! Can you just pay for those two classes and join generic BSN cohort? Or National is not willing to do that?
