  6. Job market- ADN students being warned?

    AZMOMO2 replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Sad to say that the increase in recruiting for nursing schools will evolve into an abundance of tuition for colleges and a ton of unpayable student loan debt for new grad

  22. Average Scores on Kaplan Question Trainers and Qbank and Passed NCLEX 1/18/2013

    AZMOMO2 replied to anh_thule's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs
