    Full time nursing students at CSN

    Race Mom replied to hmck32's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I did it. I didn't have to work. I have two kids, who are now 8 & 9, but were 5/6 when I got in. It's do-able if you want it! I had a very supportive family, which is key. Good

    How is 4th semester at CSN

    Race Mom replied to RegNurstobe2008's topic in Nevada Nursing
