    AssociateDegree replied to birdjk23's topic in Ohio Nursing

  11. Stupid things that nurses say

    AssociateDegree replied to OnlybyHisgraceRN's topic in Nursing Humor

    There is nothing wrong with Bryant and Stratton. As a matter of fact, their NCLEX pass rate is good. However, I just don't know why you'd want to pay the high tuition that a for-profit school...
