    How long for Rn program with prerequisites included?

    Reno1978 replied to jlhalloween's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can read an entire book (novel or school textbook) and probably not be able to tell you what I just read, unless I find it extraordinarily interesting. I, instead, don't read them, but study them....

    Reno1978 replied to Princess74's topic in General Nursing
