    Hey, SammiN, that's awesome! I'm happy for you! Maybe you can test out of Pediatrics? Just get a book and take their final test + ATI exam? Anyway, wish you luck as well, soon it will be over!

    alinkastar replied to alinkastar's topic in California Nursing

    SammiN, I don't understand why national doesn't want to help you. Since you already paid and took the program, you should be in front of the other cohort applicants. That's not fair. They will never...

    alinkastar replied to amipoo2222's topic in School, College Programs
