10. Is Nursing school that hard??

    LunchClubber replied to Back2Nursing09's topic in General Nursing

    As a recent non-trad graduate of an ADN program I can say that it definitely was one of the most difficult tasks I have accomplished in my life. What made it so difficult was the idiotic manner in which the program was set up (and speaking with folks...
