    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    So what you're saying is that us poor saps that are at Maric are a bunch of morons? It's not Stanford that's for sure but on the other hand it's not some banana republic diploma mill either. This...

  12. Thoughts on Maric College?

    casualjim replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    casualjim replied to Wen83's topic in General Nursing

  23. Is there power in the color white?

    casualjim replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing
