  3. TB Skin test question

    Rookie12 replied to new_worker's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Rookie12 replied to lulustudent21's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    as scary as it sounds, i think it was a week or two before classes started, because of when financial aid certifies the loans. As long as your private loans are pre approved and within the limit the...
