   shaiko3 replied to shaiko3's topic in CNA/MA

   Thank you to everyone. You've been most helpful in calming my nerves. I sometimes feel like I have a really good handle on things, then, I tell myself not to get too overconfident. I guess I'll just go in there, show what I've learned, and hope fo...
