    Lanesmama posted a topic in General Students

  3. explain this to me

    Lanesmama replied to Lanesmama's topic in General Students

  5. Venting... and questioning my path...

    Lanesmama replied to Lanesmama's topic in General Students

    I didn't know the answer to that question... no they don't appear to be accrediated. So what does that mean? Their NCLEX pass rate was 88% for the ADN program. Again, they do have the bridge to BSN...

  8. Dismissed from the Nursing Program...what to do now?

    Lanesmama replied to Resp2's topic in General Students

    Lanesmama replied to BellsRNBSN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  11. How did you celebrate your nursing school acceptance letter?

    Lanesmama replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

    Lanesmama replied to sweettiff4prez's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lanesmama replied to Lanesmama's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
