   i'm 99% sure it's not up to the hospitals, it's up to the clinical instructors/mount saint mary's, as it is up to them to decide what our "uniform" is. The uniform people told us the same stuff they...

    Make sure your BLS CPR class is through the American Heart Association (AHA) or else it won't count! All of this kind of info is in the packet that you'll receive after you submit your deposit, so...

    Honestly, the administration at the school is really disorganized, so it's not surprising that you're hearing different things. It wouldn't surprise me if the person who interviewed you is just as...
