  16. Pre-Nursing and trying to come up with Plan B

    smatrang001 replied to onetallgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd do the ASN. It's just a little longer than your LVN but I think it's a better choice. You can later do an RN to BSN online with many schools. Good

  21. Are clinicals flexible?

    smatrang001 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Students

    Take out a student loan and buy a cheap car if you can because clinicals are early in the morning. Or make friends quick and see if you can get someone to let you catch a ride. Good
