  6. Studying less and less as the program goes on

  14. How is the job market for nursing where you live?

    KCMO No shortage of nursing jobs here, there are a ton at almost every hospital in the area. One of our HCA's hired 20 out of the 60 grads out of the December class at our school

    Well if anyone is mistaken, it would be the Missouri BON, as I stated that was were I got this piece of info. But it was the Missouri BON not the Michigan BON, so things may be different in your neck...
