  16. kckcc any positive feedback???

    blondegenes replied to butterflies135's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated ADN/RN from KCKCC. We did more clinical hours than a BSN program. It's the only program I, or any other nurse I know, where they don't allow you to view or correct your scantrons (the form...

    blondegenes replied to Metron's topic in Health, Stress Management

    It's never okay to discriminate, and God knows I've been a long time advocate of others and stuck my neck out when they were being abused. I've represented hundreds of students in securing their right...

  23. Best/Hardest nursing class

    blondegenes replied to jewelsg627's topic in General Nursing
