3. UCH New Grad RN residency program?

   littleweasel replied to tsl701's topic in Colorado

4. Any advise on classes

   littleweasel replied to northmississippi's topic in General Students

   as long as that other student isn't in your class. there was a situation like that in my school that became quite awkward when the couple split up. they still had to see each other every day though...from opposite sides of the room, of course.
