   shippoRN replied to buffny85's topic in General Nursing

   Been watching this thread for awhile. I found out that someone from my hospital already got accepted to the program so I don't think I'm getting it. Just wish they would tell me I'm denied and put me...

10. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    shippoRN replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students
