3. Nursing School Supplies?

   IrishMama replied to robyn_a's topic in General Nursing

    IrishMama replied to IrishMama's topic in General Nursing

    Thankfully, I have a 4.0 in all the required classes, so I'm hoping that makes me a shoe-in. I've never taken patho and since I will hopefully be starting in the spring, I was considering just sucking...

11. Possibly moving to AURORA, CO!! Please respond :)

    IrishMama replied to Sl1011's topic in Colorado Nursing
