    jm123 replied to mmt4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    jm123 replied to O2BNRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have an electronic registration system? If so, you could watch the system for the nursing classes, and see if there is an open spot. It might help pass the time, and also let you know if there...

    jm123 replied to PhoenixTech's topic in Licensure: Criminal History
