   CCSF Lost it's Accreditation!

   ChanelCinq replied to WranglerRN's topic in California Nursing

   Oh no not everything. 60 USD was for the stethoscope, the blood pressure cuff, the penlight, the weird scissors we need, and some other stuff. It was the whole kit. The uniform was 40 for the set....

   MMR (Measels, Mumps, and Rubela) is an easy one. I thought I had it but I was going to volunteer at Stanford. Stanford has a huge laundry list of things you have to do before you can volunteer (like...
