    Sand_Dollar replied to Kaysmom8's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  9. How should I prepare for nursing school?

    Sand_Dollar replied to Lucidity's topic in General Students

    It's hard to figure out what a program wants before it starts, so personally I wouldn't worry about any of the pre-studying until you are there. I did that and found my efforts to be generally wasted....
