  11. NNAS experience?

    Hi @pdubuf Something must have not been submitted incorrectly or someone screwed up your file completely. NNAS does not adequately assess nursing education but if you have a 4 year nursing degree it...

  13. You do not have to do NCLEX-RN again. However, you have many other steps that others have found difficult and frustrating, and they will likely take more than a year and over $1000 USD by the time...
