    Trenata replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trenata replied to futureexpectations's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Trenata replied to futureexpectations's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Trenata replied to scorpio1113's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I am working on my prereqs for the online UTA BSN program. I am learning a lot and feel I am not wasting time commuting and sitting through lectures with the occasional bad professor. I optimize my...

  11. Denied and lost

    Trenata replied to Dem0sthenese's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, there are ways to get applications fees waived, like a referral code. You will just have to google it and see what you come with for each individual university. Good luck to you, I don't think...

  12. Denied and lost

    Trenata replied to Dem0sthenese's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trenata replied to Stacey73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trenata replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Trenata replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation
