    Lori215 replied to springchick1's topic in General Students

    Lori215 replied to Jasonat6034's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I emailed Rhonda about this, because I was kind of bummed it wasn't still offered. According to her, the rn-bsn program at PBSC will take Nur1141, and Universities want a course number that is higher...

    I remember that from the info session, but it's confusing because they keep changing things and then don't update the website. That was true about the procalc exam too. It was still on the website...
