   susnam replied to enfermeraSG's topic in Colorado

   I'm very sorry to hear that. I am finishing the nursing program there, unless CCD finds another way to mess up on us. Are you aware they are trying to get the state to approve them to not do as many clinicals as the rest of the world? They want to...
