   Crookshanks24 replied to blondeberry's topic in NP Students

   If they find placement, I am willing to travel a bit. I need a school that finds placement for you as I am new to the area. Also, I am hesitant to take out big loans since I still owe for my BSN. So while Id like to say price doesn't matter, of cours...
