  2. ADN, BSN, ABSN, or MEPN?

    picklerick replied to Pomfrey1227's topic in School, College Programs

  15. How many hours did you honesty spend studying in nursing school?

    picklerick replied to Aa1Bb2Cc3's topic in General Students

    I think posts like these gather many skewed opinions. When you start reading about people "barely studying" or just breezing through nursing school, people who DO have to study a lot are less likely...

  16. Cal state San Marcos ABSN

    picklerick replied to Kthompson12's topic in General Students
