  2. Depakote: valproic acid or divalproex sodium?

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in Psychiatric

  6. Choosing between two jobs to help me in the future

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in General Students

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Mrs.D. replied to Elsa15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mrs.D. replied to Mrs.D.'s topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Purplemim, I really can't compare the nursing program at SSU to anywhere else because it is the only one I have participated in. Maybe it is not as good.. Maybe it is better.. It seems to be proven...
