    rcarm01 replied to FLNurse2015's topic in LPN to RN

    It will be very vigorous! I went through about a month of it last spring and had no choice but to drop out to take care of my son's health issues that were flaring up. The first semester is literally...

    rcarm01 replied to rcarm01's topic in LPN to RN
