    Hygiene Queen replied to kmartin906's topic in General Students

    I absolutely agree that the instructor has no need to be a namby-pamby. This is not like making a mistake while learning to run a cash register, or breaking all the china in the department because you...

    Hygiene Queen replied to panduhlove's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
