  9. Am I being selfish?

    jla623 replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. I need opinions about my plans for school.

    jla623 replied to Cebs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go straight for the LVN/LPN. I think the others would be a waste of time personally. I would try to get into that program and take basic pre-reqs for an RN program. My view might be kind of...

    jla623 replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jla623 replied to gkbroaro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
