   GPSteiner replied to unknowngenius10's topic in Male Students

   I have a pair of all white skateboard shoes in my closet from my Mayo Clinic days, but they are so bulky and heavy compared to what I've been wearing the past 5 years, I will cringe putting them back on

11. Nurses req. to be CNA's before becoming a Nurse?

    GPSteiner replied to Phoenix16, RN's topic in General Nursing
