Great to see this thread! I was thinking about applying to Excelsior for RN-BSN. How did you guys liked it? How many hours a week on average did you spent studying? How many credits you were taking at the time?
Have you tried to apply to methadone clinics? I feel really bad that you have to leave your family in order to get the job... Or, maybe, ask the manager if you can work part-time on the weekends? They might be short on the weekends, and it will be a good deal for them,
