Don't let you're age discourage you from achieving your dreams! I just graduated last year with a 65 year old classmate! She inspired me everyday, because I thought I was old at 40 trying to do this! There were people older than me, besides the 65 ye...
Just try to get a good night's sleep before the test! I know that is easier said than done. I just studied a variety of questions and made sure I knew my basic lab values. Also, I believe even I talked to about the test says they had some type of cru...
