    mindofmidwifery replied to Red Kryptonite's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    mindofmidwifery replied to Joa1680's topic in General Students

    mindofmidwifery replied to Tremor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there a required class you could take instead of taking general biology? If your profile is correct, you're only 19? You took biology sometime in the past four years. Unless you're not very good at...

    mindofmidwifery replied to Mthom17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    mindofmidwifery replied to direw0lf's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
