    tokmom What would you do if you got your MSN? I am in my mid 50s (Yikes) and think I am too old and that I would not be able to justify having it. I do plan on working as long as I can since I went...

    mcas I just finished capstone 2 weeks ago and agree with Prism. The review of literature is a little labor intensive so it would be a good idea to switch the two weeks around and save yourself some...
