2. Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

   Nicolecn replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

   Nicolecn replied to jnnfrdbry's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just got accepted into a RN program and we didn't have to do any background checks to get into school, so it didn't impact our acceptance. However, all of the hospitals where we do clinicals do background checks, so the bigger issue is going to be ...
