2. Overweight Nurse?

   mommync3 replied to MissKatie's topic in Pre-Nursing

4. What is the DEAL with these textbooks?

   mommync3 replied to 2ndLife's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Same here. I had to buy all my books this semester new because of the access codes and cd's. For two classes, my books were $550. I did not want to chance it with Amazon. Last semester, I had a seller on Amazon send me the wrong book so I still h...

5. I passed Chemistry with a "C", should I retake?

   mommync3 replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Will the chemistry count on your GPA? The chemistry that is required at my school is just basic high school chemistry or an equivalent. It does not count against your GPA. If it does count against your GPA and your school requires you to have a hi...
