    So i'm a Nurse right????

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So i'm a Nurse right????

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So i'm a Nurse right????

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to OhioCCRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Failed Nursing School, Is LVN an Option?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to CEEB3rd's topic in General Students
