   Fazed replied to MT RN's topic in General Nursing

   Fazed replied to k00lcat114's topic in Pennsylvania

   HI...Good luck at LaRoche. Why did you leave CCAC and what campus did you attend? Please explain why you said CCAC was 'horrible'. I am currently a CCAC student and I am very pleased with the program. I feel it is the best buy for the money I am s...
