    eris08 replied to bbd613's topic in New Jersey Nursing

  10. Competitve GPA?

    eris08 replied to Vfloo2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Vfloo2 why not apply to a regular 4 year track BSN program? You will have to go back to get your BSN anyways because by 2020 hospitals will require 80% of the nurses to have a BSN. Also, it is...

  11. I hate nursing school (and it is not because it is hard)

    eris08 replied to baleen's topic in General Students

    eris08 replied to futurenurse0989's topic in General Students
