    NOIRLINCOLN replied to bluemorningglory's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

  9. Ultrasound Technician - Career path ??

    NOIRLINCOLN replied to leorceo's topic in General Nursing

    NOIRLINCOLN replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    Yes, my sentiments exactly! I decided just to drift off this segment b/c now the "edu-speakers" have gotten involved. I truely felt that this topic was closed w/ the (4) year scholarship? And when...

    NOIRLINCOLN replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students
