   ChrissyLove123 replied to GodIs082010's topic in General Nursing

   I work as a Nurse Extern. I am in the 4th block out of 5 in my BSN program. The Extern program allows me to work 24 hours per week when we are not in school (so, all summer & winter break) and then 24 hours per month while in school. That way ...

6. Question about Nutrition class for NAU program

   ChrissyLove123 replied to ChrissyLove123's topic in Arizona

   Yeah, I never got an answer so I just took a chance w/out the lab. Didn't need it. I don't know if you've taken classes at Rio Salado - but get ready for LOTS of writing. It's not "hard" it's just a lot of "doing." Be thorough. I went throught a...

    ChrissyLove123 replied to Miwila's topic in Pre-Nursing

    One thing that was helpful for me was going over Medical Terminology before and during A&PI. Knowing what the parts of the words mean really helps you understand. You can get Med Term flashcards. I printed this out: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
