    DisneyNurseGal replied to vw74vw's topic in General Students

  12. Possible to get into nursing school with a C? Has anyone ever?

    DisneyNurseGal replied to brenay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Am I rushing? Thinking LPN instead of RN

    DisneyNurseGal replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would be patient and go for your RN. If you went for your LPN, you wouldn't be able to work as an LPN and go to school as an RN at the same time. I also agree with what everyone said above, LPN...
