    smoup replied to truckinusa's topic in General Students

  4. Staying in Shape

    smoup replied to green34's topic in General Students

  10. Books: new or used?

    smoup replied to jeepgirl68's topic in General Students

    Have you checked out einsurance.com? That's where I plan on getting mine from. Don't forget, in 2014 they will not be able to refuse you based on pre-existing

  17. What if you're still unsure what kind of nurse you want to be?

    smoup replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    smoup replied to smoup's topic in General Students
