5. 5 hours of A&P I , once a week, am I CRAZY?

   penny07 replied to onehusbandsevenkids's topic in General Students

7. Students who don't come to class

    penny07 replied to SnowymtnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say the same thing, I got black out fabric at Joann's (any fabric store probably has it) its on the big rolls with the upholstery fabric. I don't think it was even $5 a yard. We originally got it because we have west facing windows in ...
