    Sand_Dollar replied to TaraRae123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sand_Dollar replied to phines8098's topic in Colorado Nursing

  4. Are there any nursing schools that don't require the NET or TEAS??

    Sand_Dollar replied to Nicki7701's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The University of Colorado does not require either test for their BSN program. They are highly competitive so you must have a good GPA and write a good essay. They have three of the top 10 Master's...

  5. Soon to be new pre-nursing student.

    Sand_Dollar replied to Nikkee303's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Nikkee303! I'm in your same general area. I had looked at FRCC too, but the wait list was discouraging. I realized that if I took all my pre-reqs and applied to CU... I would be done with a BSN...

    Sand_Dollar replied to SBJustBreathe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. A&P, Chemistry, and Nutrition - Too much?

    Sand_Dollar replied to QuarterLife88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sand_Dollar posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sand_Dollar replied to alippin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sand_Dollar replied to alippin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sand_Dollar replied to PacoUSA's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
