   tnt714 replied to CNAnursingstudent's topic in Connecticut

    tnt714 replied to kagi's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I had to retake 2 classes... for no reason other than I wasn't putting in the effort I needed to be putting in .. I got a little lazy and wasn't studying as much. The downside is that my school only allows you to retake 2 classes. So I guess I used ...
