    OCsmash replied to julianth's topic in School, College Programs

    It's really tough to say @Hamster84! I believe someone above mentioned that the average age in the program was 27 and 90% of the people in my cohort have bachelor's degrees so it has been a while...

    OCsmash replied to ghdrks's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm sure you all did fine!! There's no right or wrong answer and they just want to see if you possess the qualities that would make a good nurse. There no sense in worrying about what you did or...
