  2. whats with sutter and Sacramento city?

    koan replied to amber74's topic in California Nursing

    It isn't any harder than the sac city main campus program, it's just faster, the work load is the same, in fact, it is an identical program, in my experience a 4.0 doesn't seem to matter so much with...

    koan replied to tommyperkins's topic in General Nursing

    koan replied to StudentRN@NIC's topic in General Nursing
