   Randy RN ASN replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    ICUman Yes you do. Your words speak for themselves. And as far as misguiding people and not being honest? Ha! I could say the same thing about you and it would actually be true. Have a good night. Peace.

    Randy RN ASN replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    ICUman, Thanks for your opinions. Sorry you need to feel negative and hostile about it. I wasn't trying to make the school look bad. It was a great school and I learned so much there. There were just some silly rules (as I am sure most schools have) ...
