    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    rock hopper replied to sameishafate's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, first, breathe..No reason to get down on yourself with the "what if's" right now. Just for comparison's sake, I'm 26, almost 27 and going through a "transition" into the nursing field. No CNA...

  22. Need advice: Paying for Nursing school

    rock hopper replied to rock hopper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got off the phone with the director at Denver School of Nursing. He more or less tried to convince me to go the BSN route (predictably I guess). Didn't realize the overall tuition there was 55k...
