   I agree with you 100 percent. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree, so I already have all my prerequisites completed except the science classes. I graduated college in 1986. My college had a very reputable nursing school. I wasn't interested in much bac...

   want2scuba replied to want2scuba's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks, I'll check into ProCalc math program. The thing is that in the NLN practice book there are all kinds of word problems that I mentioned above (like the train thing). I'm just going to have to buckle down and study both. Is that Procalc math pr...

   want2scuba replied to Brian's topic in ADN/BSN

   They have to be talking about a BSN. I have a BA in Journalism. How would that make me a better nurse? I just got finished with chemistry. It was the hardest class I've ever taken. That includes any class I ever took to get my BA in Journalism. A fri...
