   Your quote says your waiting for your letter, does that mean you found out already if you got in? or you don't know yet? I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

5. Should I make a three hour drive?

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   SkanauxRN2009 replied to NurseBunky's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    SkanauxRN2009 replied to Lisa CCU RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
