3. I so wish I had started this all earlier

   RNJoAnn replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   RNJoAnn replied to RDH2RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Don't feel bad! This is my second time around trying to finish pre-reqs (10-years later) and my sisters think I've lost my mind going back to school at age 50! I sincerely believe this is a calling. I've always wanted to be a nurse and have always...
