    msfb replied to tekman781's topic in General Students

  11. How do you study?

    msfb replied to JustKeepSmiling's topic in General Students

  15. Self Study BSN ??

    msfb replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    My program is the same way with the skill portion, very self-taught. They are all about the classroom theory. We don't even get a math review. We just get photocopies and then an exam. No- I don't...

    msfb replied to coltsgrl's topic in General Students

  21. ATI Testing!!!!

    msfb replied to clvjackson's topic in General Students
