  1. RN to BSN online

    mona b RN replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    mona b RN replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

  10. CCONLINE Microbiology Club Spring 05

    mona b RN replied to fotografe's topic in Online Distance Learning

    That's funny cause I thought the same thing about the scope. Some things I can see very clearly and some things I am like..huh, I don't see any detail at all. I guess it takes some time for some of us...

  11. Anyone have a clinical site in Dallas, TX

    mona b RN replied to tawillia's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The best way to find out is to start making calls before you apply. You may find a hospital willing to take you on. Many people have done this but I am not sure about Dallas. Also, be sure to check...

  17. Acceptance of Distance/Online Degrees by Other Colleges and Universities

    mona b RN replied to macmagick's topic in Online Distance Learning

    mona b RN replied to macmagick's topic in Online Distance Learning
