   Wow our first lecture quiz isn't until 2/24, which scares me. That is 5 weeks of info! We do have a small quiz in lab on 2/10, which I am not worried about. It seems pretty straightforward.

9. Any advice for studying cadavers in anatomy class?

   cara922 replied to Annieh1315's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Our school has the smelly cats, and cow's eye balls..... I dont know how I would react to a 3-4 year old cadaver smell either. I would probably be skipping dinner those days until I got used to it.

    cara922 replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing

    LOL I've come across these people in my pre-req classes too. Guess what chances are these are the ones who won't make it. And you are right, it's very rude. We've had gum snappers, talkers, txt'rs, cheaters. Each prof has their own way of handlin...
