    broughden replied to DannyBoy8's topic in General Nursing

    CCNE Accreditation Comments

    broughden replied to Jules A's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    broughden replied to blarn's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Simply speak to the professors and come to a mutual agreement on if you can hand in any assignments late due to the late start? I guess I'm not really sure what the specific problem is that you're...
