    3peas replied to KenyakeoniRN's topic in Psychiatric

    3peas replied to go-for-it's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    3peas replied to MrsBelle's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    3peas replied to paulaTX's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Earn my MSN?

    3peas replied to ladyauston's topic in Nursing Career

    Sounds like you have a lot going on. Is there a rush to do it now? Most masters programs prefer you finish in a certain time frame. I'm going back in my 40's and my children are all school-aged now...
