    designer-mommy replied to designer-mommy's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your input, everyone! I really appreciate it. And yeah, I have heard that AZ is really tough for nurses, especially new grads. I was afraid of that! We really have our heart set on AZ...

  8. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

  11. Puerto Rico school feedback?

    designer-mommy replied to zzzzzgirl's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    They will allow you to start the accelerated program if you have approximately 4 general education classes left, but no more. That's what kept me out of the accelerated program--I was a few over the...
