  1. Terrified to graduate in May...

    brianna1 replied to ALDsn14's topic in General Students

    brianna1 replied to angelhearty15's topic in General Students

  7. Is 22 credit hours a semester too much?

    brianna1 replied to MsDanielle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm with the other posters: It's too much. What are you in a rush for? Maybe this will help. 1. Make a list of schools you would like to apply to. 2. Look at the requirements/classes needed to apply...

  14. Should I miss the first day of nursing class?

    brianna1 replied to brianna1's topic in General Students
