  10. CNA plus other science classes

    Irene joy replied to Sk8rbug's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think I would ever in a million years take all three at once. Both those sciences are difficult classes and too do it with a cna class would be too much in my opinion. Do you have any other...

    Irene joy replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
