    sara566 replied to Mojo jojo500's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  16. Should I go to school to become an RN or LPN?

    sara566 replied to Kmarie4507's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would go for the RN since you have half your pre-reqs. The reason I chose to go straight for my bachelors is because I too am still young and I wanna finish with school and get a degree before...
