    My school won't let me graduate!

    SummitRN replied to SummitRN's topic in General Students

    Proof of payment is easy. I'd rather not use a lawyer, but I think I will if they try to screw me and won't back down. I earned those degrees and it was their lack of diligence that caused this...

    College requirements?

    SummitRN replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Nursing

    Ah, OK. So pick the one you want. Your acceptance to the college and declared major of nursing doesn't guarantee you entry into the BSN program. You apply to that during your second year of school...

    College requirements?

    SummitRN replied to TeeGuneys23's topic in General Nursing

    You are a graduating high school senior? I'm assuming so. Most nursing programs you cannot go right into after high school. You need to take prereqs at college then apply to the nursing program...
