    iPink replied to ThinkNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sorry to hear that. I do remember they did say there were no longer doing conditional acceptances. I would call them to hear what their final word is regarding your situation, but I have a...

    iPink replied to LikesToWander's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Um, I started my nursing journey at age 28 and will graduate from my BSN program at 30 and that's still young. Among all the professions, nursing is one where age really doesn't matter; most important...

    iPink replied to jade8307's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    iPink replied to Jenna23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
