4. Where to start a carrer change to nursing-Pittsburgh

   laramyy replied to Annie-pearl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

   I recommend a diploma program like St. Margaret's. You can take pre-req's/co-req's at CCAC before you start in order to have a leg up, but I do NOT recommend CCAC's nursing program. I am finishing it...

   laramyy replied to horrorxgirl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

   Hi all, don't worry too much about the books. I'm starting my second year in August, and I barely cracked open my books the first year. I'm glad I have them, though, for when I needed them....

    laramyy replied to horrorxgirl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I know people who work 3 12s and are fine. (Keep in mind this is my program. I think they are restructuring things.) The second year is the difficult one since you have clinical two days a week. I...
