    Kaplan college in San Diego RN program

    Faeriewand replied to mireillegrale's topic in California Nursing

    I really want to emphasize not to go the LVN route with any private school, Kaplan or otherwise. Do you really want to pay $30,000 for the LVN degree? Will you be able to earn that much money as an...

    "Fired for NO Reason"

    Faeriewand replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Professionalism
