    Tanguera replied to cupcake8503's topic in New York Nursing

    Tanguera replied to cupcake8503's topic in New York Nursing

  6. Questions regarding SUNY Downstate Accelerated Nursing Program

    Tanguera replied to cupcake8503's topic in New York Nursing

    Penbare, yes, I am really THAT unhappy at Downstate. It's a shame because it's a very competitive program to get into and many of us here turned down other very competitive programs so that we could...

    Tanguera replied to LifeInGreek's topic in New York Nursing

  11. Questions regarding SUNY Downstate Accelerated Nursing Program

    Tanguera replied to cupcake8503's topic in New York Nursing

  20. Help! Can't decide which school to go to!

    Tanguera replied to LDiddy82's topic in General Nursing
