  12. CCAC nursing program for Fall '13 question

    carbon86 replied to momokombat's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    carbon86 replied to carbon86's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I hate to be the one to answer this one but since it's my thread I'm gonna throw my opinion out there. No, you're probably not going to be accepted into St. Marg's or Mercy, or even CCAC for that...

    carbon86 replied to nurseintraining20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
