  5. Pre-nursing student...beginning clinicals. Very nervous!!

  6. What is your program's late-work policy?

    In my ADN program no late work is accepted. It becomes an automatic zero, and it must be completed before the end of the term or you are ineligible to move on. Agreed. There's little reason to be...
