2. Maricopa Colleges LPN-RN Wait?

   blkcind replied to DaughteroftheKing's topic in Arizona Nursing

   I personally didn't study for the HESI-PN because I don't think it's one of those exams you can study for. You either know the material or not. You can't just study a year's worth of information in a...

8. MSC LPN program

   blkcind replied to cmi528's topic in Arizona Nursing
