I did Gasparis-Vonfrolio and the Pass CCRN CD test. Mind you, when I took the test, I felt empty, having no idea on most of the questions and just flagged them for review later. I used up the whole 3...

I used to work in a place like that.

Congratulations!

LOL! Too funny.

A pair of scissors would be very handy : )
