  3. To the accelerated (A-BSN) students: Any regrets?

    pexx84 replied to xInspiredx's topic in General Students

    No regrets here. My guess is that much of the kvetching that you see about nursing school on this forum is from younger students. If you already have a degree, and have been kicking about the...

    pexx84 replied to ChristinaG123's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    We were asked for feedback regarding 1.5 vs. 3 hrs for the Wednesday lab. It was pretty much unanimous for three hours. It would surprise me if they made folks trek into Milton every Wednesday for a...
