  5. Should I go for it?

    The word "considered" stands out to me. That means that it is not guaranteed so you will not automatically become a nursing major. You still probably have to be evaluated and be competitive with other...

  11. I hope i make it through these pre- reqs

  12. Nursing jobs in South Florida and lsewhere

    I am in N. Ca it's bad here as well. I have a couple of friends that graduated last May and still do not have jobs. One classmate of mine had to relocate to another state. This is really scary, I am...
