Just wondering, How do all you fellow nursing students like your program? Are you in the degree program or diploma? I'm in the degree program as it was the only choice open to me. I have conflicting ideas about the amount of electives and non-nursing courses. We don't do practicums until after the second year! We have piles of essay writing, and it seems to me that it is just nonsence. Just would like to hear all your input. Thanks!
