   Hi nurses! About 10 years ago i started getting my prereqs done and finished in 2012 from Folsom Lake College. I took forever, sometimes taking one class at a time, because I was a working single mom. I kept getting rejected from the ADN programs, an...

   Hi all! I finished all my pre-requisites in 2012 and am so tired of applying to community colleges and getting shut down. My GPA isn't a 4.0, so I can't get into Sac State's program. I was looking at Carrington and Blake Austin, but they will only le...
