  3. IS ACLS SCARY?!

    N. Maren replied to dreamsdocometrue15's topic in First Year After Licensure

    N. Maren replied to Lanay30's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  16. Dismissed from BSN Program

    N. Maren replied to Dozier's topic in General Students

    Hi Dozier, While I think your email is fine, may I ask what prompted them to perceive you as "unprofessional"? The reason I ask is because, as it stands, the email does not address the issue at all....
