  2. Getting into nursing school!

    Mandy0728 replied to yasminelat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Frustrations of an older student

    Mandy0728 replied to suzilks1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Every school is definitely different, because our schools here in Northern Ohio don't require an ACT score to apply unless you're out of HS. If you're a transfer student from any other college, they...

    Mandy0728 replied to CeeCee82's topic in General Students
