  16. Current or previous MCC nursing students question

    SnowStar4 replied to Mzam2012's topic in Michigan Nursing

  19. MCC - Nursing Students Starting 2009

    SnowStar4 replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Maybe you just didn't know they were altered. I'm not saying do anything drastic like adding ties or pink lace, but taking them in in areas or shortening them is not a big deal. Many people in my...

    SnowStar4 replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan Nursing

    SnowStar4 replied to MichyMich's topic in Michigan Nursing
