    CarVsTree replied to gizzy76's topic in General Nursing

  15. certified letter?

    CarVsTree replied to kats's topic in General Students

    I agree with Jake. I don't see why they would send a rejection letter certified. But if there are deadlines like ggfifi had, it would make sense to send certified so they know when you got the...
