10. OMGoodness! Microbiology!

    Lauryn replied to moni rn's topic in General Students

    What I found helped was to really understand the whole process of each organism you are studying at the time. It does you no good at all just to memorize. I would start a chapter and read it until I thoroughly understood what I was reading. When I...

    Lauryn replied to 123lisa's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't realize one needed 3 or 4 years of college or university to work at Taco John's LOL. Some people seem to have forgotten that nursing is a profession, and we are professionals.
