    mangopeach replied to w.ross1990's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    mangopeach posted a topic in General Students

    mangopeach replied to gc1010's topic in General Students

    mangopeach replied to tajlemm6's topic in General Students

  19. How to tell someone not to pursue nursing? Should I?

    mangopeach replied to EightySeven's topic in General Students

    Not everyone is cut out for nursing, however I think some people that do poorly can be redirected. One has to do the analysis to see where they are going wrong. I think it would have been very hard...
