I'll guess we'll see in a few weeks ? I have plenty of experience writing and delivering presentations so that section wasn't hard to complete. But, I haven't had any scholarly work/research published. The admissions officer I spoke with said that wa...

Looks like I'm reviving an old thread. I am a new nurse and could have written this original post. I can find a vein with no problem. I can get a flash with no problem. Then I blow it with no problem. Every single time! Or I almost blow it but stop b...
