    What kind of BAG do I carry all this stuff in?

    CrazierThanYou replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    CrazierThanYou replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I start tomorrow... It's supposed to snow and I have to admit, I'm kind of hoping it does so we can get an extra day off. I'm not ready for my break to end,

    CrazierThanYou replied to crownemarie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That sucks. Luckily, our bookstore has the arm patches separate so we can get our uniforms somewhere else but still get the patch. It's ridiculous how students are ripped off. The scrubs that my...
