  6. student loans

    RunnerRN2015 replied to ginaw623's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't imagine having students loans, especially close to $90,000! Can you go for your ADN, find a job, and have the facility pay for your BSN? I'm soooooo thankful my school is affiliated with a...

    RunnerRN2015 replied to Sarah812's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
