  2. Resident nurse ratio question

    whatdidigetmyselfin2 replied to LH...RN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    whatdidigetmyselfin2 replied to finallygotit's topic in General Students

    Like csmcj said, it's not easy but it's possible. I made A's in every class in nursing school. In my experience, to get the grade you want, it takes sacrifice. I'm not saying you need to...

    whatdidigetmyselfin2 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA
