  4. 3.4 gpa-doomed?

    anie10 replied to iheartcells's topic in General Students

    Yes, 3.4 is great and you'll be fine. I feel empathy for those who have to worry about prestigious universities vs "piddly/only for the stupid" community colleges (like me for instance). I am glad...

    anie10 replied to sovarah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Being a CNA in a CA hospital, fresh off certification and not of a certain/bilingual group is nearly impossible - unless you are in Kern County or something... Getting a CNA job in a hospital is...
