   My problem in the morning is realizing why it is so important to wake up - so I make a personal recording on my cell phone alarm (in addition to an extra loud alarm clock). I usually name my clinical...

5. Completely online ASN degree that I found.,

   lizmatt replied to CRTtoRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

   I doubt any state will allow students to sit for Nclex without a clinical component. The wording on the website is fishy too. I just did a live chat session asking about clinical portion the answer...
