  7. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    kanzi monkey replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    kanzi monkey replied to lullaby's topic in General Nursing

    Hey lullaby, I think it's really cool that you're going from architecture/design to nursing. Strangely, you are not the only one. I am in an accelerated program, and one of my classmates had a BA in...

  13. Intimidation and Threats in Nursing School

    kanzi monkey replied to Pianoforte's topic in General Nursing

    kanzi monkey replied to SiempreBella's topic in General Nursing
