    stephaniej1229 replied to jme2018's topic in General Students

  6. Social Media and the Workplace-Don't do it

    stephaniej1229 posted a topic in HIPAA Challenges

  8. Trying to figure out what program to do

    stephaniej1229 replied to ImCagey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    stephaniej1229 replied to Rafaeld500's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. PlanB after getting kicked out of nursing program

    stephaniej1229 replied to brennareilly's topic in General Students

    stephaniej1229 replied to stephaniej1229's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Thank you! I can't wait for school to start this fall. I am new to this site and I have enjoyed it but I sincerely can't understand why this is an issue at all? I mean, I'm only 32 but I can remember...
