    pinkiepie_RN replied to classof2009's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Have you been accepted to a nursing program yet? If you're picking clinicals, it sounds like you're already in a program. I think it depends on if you want to do nursing now or wait around. Does...

  12. APA format?

    pinkiepie_RN replied to RbLegend's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    pinkiepie_RN replied to GilbertDaddy's topic in General Students
