  13. Road to FNP (nontraditional route)

  21. I would encourage anyone that does not get into TCC to apply to ODU, Sentara, Hampton, or Norfolk State. This area does not have a shortage and a BSN will make you more competitive as a new grad. Good...

  23. Curious...how many attempts did it take you to pass NCLEX?
