   Penelope the cat, RN replied to Nu2be's topic in Pre-Nursing

   reesepc, I had a very love/hate relationship with Harper's program, but it is a good program. Of everyone that I graduated with, only 1 person did not pass the NCLEX on their first try. We were all definitely prepared for it. I moved out of the area ...

    Hi, I moved out of the area shortly after graduating so I do not have personal experience with finding a job in the area. However, I know that a majority of my class did not have any problems getting jobs. A lot of us stay connected through our faceb...

    I waited about two weeks after graduating to send in my fingerprints, but I received my ATT the following week. A couple of people in my class that had everything done right away had theirs within 10 days of graduating. I am pretty sure Harper will/d...
