    Nolli replied to spindash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Failed the Core Values Assessment?

    Nolli replied to C-lion's topic in General Students

    It's common here too. And don't feel too bad I failed one of those for a food service job when I was in my teens. Looking back on it everyone who passed lied through their teeth. Some places actually...
