  1. Failing first nursing class

    JJL618 replied to Lannister123's topic in General Students

    I'm not in school yet, but aren't you suppose to always first think ABC? Airway, breathing, circulation. So following that A would be the best answer, no? Or am I wrong about the ABC

    JJL618 replied to vannyze's topic in General Students

    JJL618 posted a topic in General Students

    JJL618 replied to Neezy84's topic in General Nursing
