   Thank you everyone for such kind words. My class is taught by the director of our nursing program. I don't know why but she doesn't care if we do an in person interview, a phone interview, or an e-mail interview. It's a half-unit nursing guidance cou...

    Sassenach replied to CanteWasteWin's topic in Pre-Nursing
