  8. Age and nursing school

    beingthankful replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

  11. Should I "waste" my time getting an ADN?

    beingthankful replied to misskayy's topic in General Students

  12. Anyone NOT willing to move for nursing school?

    beingthankful replied to misskayy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I moved from NY to FL to go to an ADN program with a 9 year old. Look at ALL your options. Instead of seeing what you lack, look at what you HAVE & work from there. Do you have family somewhere...

  13. Is it better to get an ADN or BSN?

    beingthankful replied to Irena67's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    beingthankful replied to Andreany9's topic in General Students
