2. question about pathophys

5. Should I take Chem before taking Microbiology?

   ryantherunner replied to emily_ganshert's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I have not taken micro yet, but I took A&P before i took chemistry and did just fine. I had no knowledge about chemistry whatsoever, and i did just fine. Having a very general knowledge of chemistry probably would have helped but very very litt...

6. He doesn't want her to work. Is it fair?

   ryantherunner replied to mscgirl09's topic in General Nursing

   I don't see any reason why she should quit working. He has not right to ask/demand that of her. However, they are getting married, and I firmly believe that things like this need to be agreed upon by both parties involved. As a crna, she will defini...

    ryantherunner replied to copyandpaste's topic in General Students

    i would go for it! right now i am taking a&p, chemistry, statistics and two easy classes. it takes a lot of studying for me to retain information (between class, studying, and work i put in 70-80 hrs a week) but it's definitely doable. i guess i...

11. "Becoming a Doctor is like, 100 times harder than becoming a nurse".

    ryantherunner replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    my brother is a 1st year med student and it seems like he learns (or is expected to learn) as much (and more) in one week in gross anatomy than i have to learn in A&P in a month. i love the idea of going to med school and i'm not afraid of hard w...
