   cabrerakm replied to Kmmamea's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

   cabrerakm replied to Brittiany's topic in School, College Programs

   I was the same way. After your acceptance letter, they first initially send you the information to get your background check, drug test, and fingerprinting done. They gave us a month to turn that in....
