  1. Cardiovascular certification

    I'm curious about this myself. I want to take the exam in the next few months and while I don't want to spend a ton, I wouldn't mind finding out what study materials have worked for others.

    I have a two-day long orientation for my ASN program at a local community college. Not sure at all what to expect! Who's btdt, so far? How long was your orientation? We start class a week after orientation is done. Excited but nervous!
  11. Websites to get cheap books
