  24. I know that nursing is similar but none of these are BSN degrees. They are professional degrees that deliver the doctor of X. The others are Bachelors which is the same entry level as the Registered...
  25. I do believe this should be the admitting criteria like any other Bachelor/ Associate Degree program. Why should nursing be different when no one needs an interview/ references to be a sociology,...
