    misswillow replied to nurseinthemaking2010's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    misswillow replied to misswillow's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sorry, I'm not from Florida. Maybe you could contact the Board of Nursing or Red Cross in your area for information about the exam. Good

    misswillow replied to NurseS2014's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    misswillow replied to misswillow's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
