  1. Cheating in Pre-Reqs

    I withdrew from A&P I this past spring semester because of this reason. The instructor was too vague in what she wanted, esp. at test time, and if I continue with my pre-nursing coursework, I will take Biology 100 (intro) and then A&P sometim...

  7. Are you Smart enough to be a Nurse?

    I'd like to think of myself as a reasonably intelligent person. We all know it takes time, perseverance, etc. to make things happen. With that being said, I often wonder if I am "smart enough to be a nurse." Only time will tell. LOL It's easy to find...
