4. Should I get ADN or LPN? Already have BS degree

   Scorpiochic26 replied to Scorpiochic26's topic in General Students

   Lol funny you picked up on my schools!! Yes! FMU and I already spoke. Their director of nursing is awesome and SO helpful! They do have a 2nd degree bsn program. Too bad I can't say the same about the admissions office. FMU is 1hr 45 minutes with no ...
