    Is it normal to not graduate "on time"?

    scaredsilly replied to greenbean14's topic in General Students

    scaredsilly replied to sunrays1981's topic in General Students

    scaredsilly replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Nursing

    Your co worker was wrong! I'm a snot, so I would probably have twisted it up and tried converting HER! But I would have been wrong as well. I think I would report her though, or if not then at...
