Don't be discouraged. At least you had some very helpful teachers who were willing to help you. If nursing is what you really want to do, apply to another program. You obviously have the heart and...
Some programs don't require it, some do. I was going to attend Governor's State University until I found out they required organic chemistry. I instead decided to enroll at Purdue Calumet and they...
