   BBboy replied to bindawang1989's topic in General Students

    BBboy replied to Xuannon's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    It's not unreasonable, plenty of people fail on hand washing. Not sure about your state or if it's the norm everywhere but handwashing is the first skill for a reason. Not sure how they wouldn't have...

    BBboy replied to bdarden07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
