  9. Can't decide between Accl. BSN and D.E. NP program

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

    There are a few Direct Entry Master's programs. They typically roll the Accelerated BSN into their program. I think the big question for the OP is "What do you want to do?" NP's and RN's are very...

  10. ~!~ ...SERIOUSLY ...~!~

    SiennaGreen replied to 2bNurse22*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. For Current Anne Arundel CC Nursing Students

    SiennaGreen replied to ga2md2brn's topic in Maryland Nursing

    SiennaGreen replied to Moogie's topic in Ob/Gyn
