    soldiermedic1 replied to soldiermedic1's topic in General Students

    Exactly, and thank you for this comment. I am not asking anyone to do anything, and only wanted a point in the direction. This class is online, and the instructor has not responded via email or phone to any of the students (Some of us are taking p...

    soldiermedic1 replied to 2012RN2b's topic in Missouri

    My physical and titers were done the week after I received my paperwork. At this point I only need my CPR re-certification. I need to get to school for books, student ID, and parking passes though. Steve
