    Tips to stay focused

    Tips to stay focused

    springchick1 replied to kp1987's topic in General Students

    Maybe deep down OP realized it may not be the best idea. If she thought it was a good idea with no repercussions, she would have just done what she wanted to do and downloaded the pictures. My...

    springchick1 replied to rse3's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    springchick1 replied to rse3's topic in HIPAA Challenges
