    jagsterr replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

  9. New entrance requirements at El Camino

    jagsterr replied to dienne's topic in California Nursing

    I just spoke to someone at El Camino today and they told me its a two year wait, however the nursing counselors do not share that with you. It's really confusing. I think they get paid per applicant...

    jagsterr replied to MacBaba's topic in California Nursing

    jagsterr replied to jagsterr's topic in First Year After Licensure
