    Faeriewand replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my area there are wait lists of at least two years for all the community colleges around, but not for the BSN programs. Those go by grades and previous medical experience. Plus you need to have...

    Wearing scrubs home??

    Faeriewand replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing
