    Izzy11 replied to chibisam's topic in General Students

    Izzy11 replied to mahkev2000's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Izzy11 replied to Izzy11's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Thanks for the replies. I know at the end of it, those of us who just do what we're supposed to do are going to be much better off. They had a couple of people who graduated last year come talk to...
