    Halcyonn replied to JLA's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Halcyonn replied to here_we_stand's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow, my bad everyone. I realize that DA is not an "official" abbreviation and I would/will never use it to document. I'm sorry Since the original poster hasn't returned yet... Would an aortic...
