    elby812 replied to william5703's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  10. fccj online pharm -- tips???

    elby812 replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    elby812 replied to Syncere's topic in General Students

  15. fccj first sem students!

    elby812 replied to miss rochelle's topic in Florida Nursing

    I have to agree about the nursemates. Every pair I tried on, I hated. But I guess its just a preference thing. I have a pair of white nike airs. They're kind of bulky but they are so comfy. My feet...

  20. Nursing Students' Uniforms

    elby812 replied to 12breakfree's topic in Florida Nursing

  21. FCCJ's online pharm

    elby812 replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing
