either the review CD is wrong, or it was trying to actually make the micro symbol and your fonts didn't support it and it showed up incorrectly on your computer. Don't ever assume any practice tests are right, I've found many that are wrong. I try to only practice with books that give rationales, or at least explain a bit why an answer is right or wrong...

that sounds like it will be quite hard to do... you really just cant do an all or even mostly online nursing degree, as its way too hands on.... you can get an ASN (though it would almost impossible to fit around your work schedule), then many ASN to BSN programs are almost entirely online.... as for georgia, I am in Alabama, and I know a few people here in my program that come from Georgia, because they said the waiting lists are so long in Georgia at most places, they were looking at a year or two wait to get in a program... if you have a really high GPA and test scores, it would probably be faster than that... I'm currently in a ASN program, and I'm not sure how I would hope to do this and work full time, let alone the Military which wont be very flexible with your time. ASN programs (at least mine) push you a lot harder, like I'm almost the second week into my med/surg class, and next week we have to take a Medication administration test and check off, we pass it all, or we are gone from the class to try again next semester... 2 weeks of class, and pass or fail, no second chances. I have been studying and practicing about 10 hours a day, I'd be dead if i was working full time. (of course you may be smarter than me, I don't learn super quick :-P )

i know the ASN program i got in didn't require anything before hand besides certain GPA, and SAT/ACT scores, or a NLN exam. Right now they are basically the same, except you don't get in the full program at the beginning anymore (I was last semster that did). They make you apply and get accepted, then you are a nursing student then you have to take all the "first semester" classes which are kinda pre-reqs, then apply for the clinical nursing sequence, then can start the actual 4 semesters with real nursing classes and clinicals. When I got in 1 year ago, I was able to be fully accepted in the entire program for start to finish (5 semesters), with no pre-reqs or anything needed. This is in Alabama, so not sure how it'll help you, but you really need to do research as tons of programs are different. Just make sure you find an actual 'nothing' to ASN or BSN program, as some schools do only offer the LPN to RN tracks.
