   GoingCoastalRNCCRN replied to MegIndy's topic in Excelsior

   I graduated from Excelsior in 2008. I wouldn't sign up with any of those third party vendors unless you find someone that is willing to split the cost of those work books with you. . they are ridiculously expensive. I had 3 other girls that wanted ...

   GoingCoastalRNCCRN replied to mol42's topic in COVID

   Just get a note from your doctor that you had a reaction (without going into details) and wear a mask. I wore a mask the entire flu season last year and it was no big deal. It wasn't required by my employer. . I wore it by choice because we had so ...
