    Mewsin replied to missmollie's topic in General Students

    Mewsin replied to mvm2's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Mewsin replied to HeatherMax's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

  15. I'm a procrastinator... Help?

    Mewsin replied to twss2323's topic in General Students

    That was kind of mean. Different does not equal bad, or unhealthy. I know I procrastinate, I call it being resourceful, but honestly that doesn't make me lazy or ill-prepared. During the personality...

  16. Temporary Licence

    Mewsin replied to megan005's topic in Canada

    We get ours done with the RCMP and it only takes a few days. I don't know if that's an option for you. I'd think even going to a smaller center where the only police they have are rcmp might work,...

    Mewsin replied to do-over at 40's topic in LPN, LVN Students
