  7. Hello! I'm a pre-nursing student and I'm on the fence about which program I should go into. I'm almost done with my science prerequisites to apply to an ADN program (the one at my school is VERY good...

    I would not take A&P online...First of all, it requires a lab (which is required for nursing school - I don't know a school that doesn't require a lab)...Second, its a HARD class to just learn out...

    Nursing Schools Doubts; Is This for Me?

    If you don't feel a "spark" with nursing, I don't recommend putting in all the time and effort for something you don't really want to do. Being a nursing student is crazy hard, both academically and...
