    DonnaRDH replied to Alex5468's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh good $500 is reasonable, if I’m lucky enough to get in I’ll accept right away. That’s interesting about the DNP I’ve heard the trend is moving toward that. I ultimately want to get that but...

    DonnaRDH replied to Alex5468's topic in School, College Programs

    DonnaRDH replied to Alex5468's topic in School, College Programs

    DonnaRDH replied to Alex5468's topic in School, College Programs
