  12. Why is finding scholarships so difficult?

    SiennaGreen replied to mom25's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am looking forward to a spring start also. One advantage that I can see already is having two summers in between to work as a CNA and gain experiance. In my state, we can get a CNA license after...

    SiennaGreen replied to RNinfamily's topic in Nursing Career
