Hi Obwannabe11, I have absolutely NO Chemistry background. I am a career change student, I did hair for 6 years and decided after having my son that I wanted to be a nurse

So I have been out of highschool for 8 yrs now and havent had a single class

(except cosmetology, of course) I decided that I wanted to take the LPN route before going for my RN so I could work as a nurse while completing the LPN to RN bridge program. I signed up for A&P 1,which starts in 2 weeks,bought my books early and started studying my @ss off! Its hard stuff and you cant really move on to the next chapter until you REALLY understand the stuff in the previous chapter.Whew!! How many weeks is your class?? Mine is 5, and Im scared that the class will move too fast for me in that amount of time

But Im determined,so since you started already would you mind keeping in touch with me to let me know what your learning? I would appreciate the advice!
