  3. I GOT IN!

    So, I have been trying to get into a nursing program for what feels like forever now (which is an exaggeration). After transferring from a school with a year long waiting list, coming to the new...

  13. Surgical Tech or RN?

    JVerne07, I believe it has come from having only a 20 on the ACT (which is embarrassing, because I am way smarter than that!) My points are based on everything you said, minus an entrance exam and...
