    Poorly written letter of recommendation help!

    springchick1 replied to blah_blah_blah's topic in General Nursing

    springchick1 replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    They shouldn't be granted a degree because they didn't meet the requirements of their program. It doesn't matter what their GPA is. I'm not sure why so many people have a hard time understand
