Thanks!

[upnosalt]

For those of you whom have posted study guides, links, and other saveable information, I thank you for your time and wish you were there when I come to the hospitals to do my clinicals. Though you may not receive a personal and direct thanks to your postings, please know that there are many others that feel the same I am at the end of my first semester in the ADN program, and I know there are many more mountains to climb. The comforting guidance of contributing members here ensure I will find an answer and so I'll be back, again and again.

Here are my lecture notes and study guides from Micro; they are 2 years old, but they should still work.

Micro Basics
DNA Review
Bacterial genetics
Infection of bacterial invasiveness
Selective and differential media
Antigens and Antibodies
Pathogens
Fill-in the blank study guide I
Fill-in the blank study guide II

Excuse the drawn pictures in them, I am definitely not an artist by any means. I hope they're helpful.
