   Student2Registered replied to Diva, RN's topic in Post Graduate Students

   I applied to the SF program. They told me that I should hear something in the next 4-6 weeks but that would be when the semester starts. I am so frustrated. Like you, I feel like I need to plan my...

   Student2Registered replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing
