    Where do you buy nursing supplies?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    Why does BSN take longer than an ADN?

    KimberlyRN89 replied to gmanela's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    And maybe if the schools in your geographical area have wait lists, is it possible for you to relocate to surrounding states for a nursing school? That's what I'm having to
