    enuf_already replied to bluedragonfly13's topic in General Students

  2. Sex ed OMG

    enuf_already replied to childcare1's topic in School

  3. Help with pre-employment questions!!!

    enuf_already replied to Val1023's topic in First Year After Licensure

    enuf_already replied to bluedragonfly13's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

  15. Proof of degree question

    enuf_already replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    enuf_already replied to maybabe's topic in General Nursing

    A sixteen year old is considered a minor child. I confirm I am speaking with a legal guardian of the correct child (name, date of birth). There are some results that are not given to parents such as...
