   Yes school is hard to get in, about half get excepted and another half drop out before graduation. But that is actually better than the student body overall at my college. Time to get back to the books, two quizzes and a project due tomorrow, another...

   Dreamers who act on their dreams often happIer and more successful. Think Of McDonalds, Ray Kroc stated it at age 63. The words you used said more about you than you want us to know about you. Being a nurse is really not that difficult once you acqui...

   Midterm over, yay, I don’t remember if there was a formal application but they do require a semester completed at BMCC before you start the program. I took my math in the summer then took the Kaplan exam the end of that semester. Hope this helps.

    glenrubin replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Students

    Great topic and happy to be here. I'm three weeks into nursing school and since I went back to school I try to be open about being gay. It's important to let others know that we are everywhere and do everything like anyone else. I feel I am treated n...
