3. BLS vs. CPR/AED??

   eyoliver posted a topic in General Nursing

   eyoliver replied to nepalusarn's topic in Texas

   The review course was a total waste of time and money. They did not cover any information that is on the test, only information on how to navigate the BON website. When you're taking the test, just open a 2nd browser window and search the BON websi...
