  4. Please help me figure this one out

    midinphx replied to moneyline702's topic in Government, Military

    midinphx replied to mt_nurse's topic in Government, Military

    midinphx replied to RNStudy's topic in General Nursing

    Rnstudy, So sorry about your disappointment. Try not to take it as a personal hit though. It doesn't mean you did anything wrong. You were just not the best fit in their eyes. Keep at

    midinphx replied to PEK93RT's topic in Government, Military
