    zooz replied to greysa32's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    zooz replied to zooz's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks, DreamyEyes! It's too bad you won't be able to go to a hospital for clinicals. I know I was very disappointed when I found out that my class would only be going to a nursing home. (I wanted...

    zooz posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
