  5. Can someone explain to me what this is?

    8jimi8ICURN replied to Coloradogrl's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It sounds like an alternative entry Master's program. Go in with a previous bachelor's, then after a year you test for your RN, but continue working towards your Master's. I believe some of these...

    8jimi8ICURN replied to Chris99mu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    8jimi8ICURN replied to servant's topic in Emergency
