    mangopeach replied to Jack245's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mangopeach replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    mangopeach replied to redhedmatt's topic in Georgia Nursing

    mangopeach replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

  13. Might anyone have any advice for someone in my position?

    mangopeach replied to Sudz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well the good news is that unless those computer courses are part of the school's gen ed requirements, they may not count against you. They don't count towards the degree you will be seeking. Every...

    mangopeach replied to tidekid66's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mangopeach replied to jengold89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mangopeach replied to studentgolfer's topic in General Students

    mangopeach replied to TopSecret's topic in General Students
