   sim236 replied to 2bnurseofchrist's topic in General Students

   sim236 replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

   I'm starting nursing school next week and the only book I have kept from my pre reqs is my A&P book. I've sold all the rest. I figure the A&P will probably help me out the most in nursing school. But I guess I'll find out.
