    Ted D replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    Ted D replied to Ted D's topic in General Students

    Ted D posted a topic in General Nursing

  8. Are all accelerated BSN programs the same?

    Ted D replied to Ted D's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    By Chem 1 and Chem 2, I'm assuming you mean 2 semesters total? No Organic is necessary right? When did you apply for the BSN program? After 2 semester or something at the

  14. How long does it take to get an Associates Degree in Nursing?

    Ted D replied to Ted D's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have a bachelors degree, but it's not in a science. Would I really be able to do the LPN tech school and the pre-reqs at the same time? Would the experience be that worthwhile when it came to...
