    Meganmcm replied to anxiousnscared's topic in General Students

  8. i don't know

    Meganmcm replied to alieu4's topic in General Students

    It may not be ideal, but go for the ADN program. Stick it out- do your thing and go back for the BSN. School isn't for everyone and I have seen so many close friends of mine fail out in the last...

    Meganmcm replied to Nargii's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
