I have scheduled to take my boards on the 24th in Kenosha ...small world if that's where you'll be .Good luck .to you and your friends. I just want it to be over already .
I was an SNI at the KMH campus. I just graduated and am waiting to schedule my boards. I gained so much from being a SNI and precepting in CCU while in my 4th semester .I highly recommend it.
