   Alert&Oriented replied to 09RN's topic in Alabama

   I agree! There is absolutely no hands on training at Jeff State. After attending Lawson for one semester, I was finally able to pass that dreaded dosage calculation test, which by the way, was nothing compared to the one I took at Jeff State and fai...
