8. What order to take prereq's in

   miniaussie replied to AZmom's topic in Arizona

   I did not take high school Biology. I took Bio 156 and I don't think it helped me at all with Bio 201 or Bio 202. I would not recommend taking any other class when taking Bio 201. It is intense and requires lots of studying. I have never taken a chem...

13. Case study: what went wrong?

    miniaussie replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with previous postings on this. When a patient hears the word cancer they panic. It is a scarey word especially if you have been told you have it. It does appear that the family is trying to protect her from knowing the truth. Sometimes not t...
