  12. No Programs - Getting Frustrated

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to x_factor's topic in General Students

    It seems to me that both the LPN-BSN and ADN-BSN are about the same length. Either way, you'll have years to complete the education. You're looking for shortcuts in a program which requires...

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to RM27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ♑ Capricorn ♑ replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students
