   Sharon M RN BSN replied to BSN1986's topic in NCLEX

   Sharon M RN BSN replied to SPinOR's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got accepted to PCC, without prior medical experience (no CNA), but I did do volunteering on the Oncology floor at Salem Hospital for 2 years. Didn't do any of my prereqs there, don't live in that school district either. But I did do well on the ...
