3. Kenosha Gateway?

   badgerbabe287 replied to Kylea's topic in Wisconsin

   I agree about being an sni! I learned so much just from working as a nurse intern and it is true that they are always upping their requirements but not changing the curriculum. You now have to get an 80% on tests to pass the class and u can only ret...

10. General A&P

    badgerbabe287 replied to nbrody's topic in Wisconsin
