1. Nursing School Question??

   Future RN in WA replied to jennyej's topic in General Students

   I agree. The local community college here has at least a year wait. This is due to lack of instructors and hospitals where the students can do clinicals. It really sucks. This is the school where I have done all of my prereq work with the promise...

   Future RN in WA replied to StudentRNTX's topic in General Students

   I have taken a couple of online courses and really enjoyed them. I do have one question though. How do you take A&P online. I would have been lost without cadaver lab. I can't imagine taking those courses without being on campus. One history...
