    Alexander the Great replied to Natasha_mer24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. #MilitarySpouseProblems

    Alexander the Great replied to WonderousIvy's topic in General Students

    Alexander the Great replied to Speece99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could go for your LPN/LVN first which here is only a year of school and then later on you could go through an LPN/LVN to RN bridge program. It would allow you to at least get back to the workforce...

  10. Spring 2017 Chat

    Alexander the Great replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Alexander the Great replied to PrinPringles's topic in General Students

  18. Do I really need a tutor for the Pre-NLN entrance exam?

    Alexander the Great replied to PrinPringles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
