  1. NCLEX results

    nananurse2 posted a topic in General Nursing

    nananurse2 replied to NoobIe515's topic in LPN, LVN Students

  6. Feeling Trapped

    nananurse2 replied to nananurse2's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Your bridge program sounds much easier than ours. I would have 3 math classes to take, test out of A&P and several others, then 4 semesters in class and clinical. It's doable, just intimidating....
