    online course for spanish

    GdBSN replied to Eleven011's topic in School

    Check with your community college system. I found a "Spanish for Healthcare Providers" online. It was not for credit or a grade. Duolingo is also good for everyday

    Sorry that happened to you OD. But, (and tell the parent this) I would still rather be having this conversation with you than the one that starts with "my child had a fracture, and you did
