    knottygirl replied to reeta116's topic in Georgia Nursing

    knottygirl replied to knottygirl's topic in General Students

  13. Mercer university advice please!!!!

    knottygirl replied to Atl_Queen's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Unless you're super sure you're going to get an A in the classes that you got a C in you'd be better off not retaking them because it' wont help much. You may really want to take a higher level...

  14. Can anyone recommend a reputable ATL area school for CNA training?

    knottygirl replied to zzirvingj's topic in Georgia Nursing
