    ColtsMom replied to ColtsMom's topic in North Carolina Nursing

  3. Anyone a grad from WSSU?

    ColtsMom replied to ColtsMom's topic in North Carolina Nursing

    Do you know how many people apply and how they are selected? I slacked off in my previous BS and only graduated with a 2.9. Do you think that's good enough to get in? I saw a 2.7 is required. How do...

  9. challenge cna exam.?

    ColtsMom replied to methodticalz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
