  16. Are you forced to practice IV's and injections on each other in nursing school?

    DoeRN replied to kroegerk's topic in General Nursing

    DoeRN replied to TheCloser's topic in General Nursing

    The only "fast track" that I can think of is a 1 year BSN program for people who have degrees in other areas. But you still have to have the prereqs done. I would not go to LPN school then to RN...
