   scooter79 replied to youngandnursing's topic in Oklahoma

   I attended TCC for 4 weeks and dropped out. I am now at TWU Dallas and LOVE IT! Go for the BSN! I thought that ADN and then RN-BSN would be the way to go until I got into TCC. It's obvious that some students have great professors and some have me...

    My gut tells me the emails will be sent out Friday afternoon so as to avoid mass hysteria of phone calls/emails to nursing advisors and office personnel which will surely be the knee-jerk reaction of many people. Giving those a weekend cooling off p...
