    PMFB-RN replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    *** This seems to be another case of wishful reading. That is reading what one wishes to read, reguarless of what was actually written. The quote below illistrates this perfectly. In fact my...

    PMFB-RN replied to adnrnstudent's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Job market- ADN students being warned?

    PMFB-RN replied to hope3456's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
