   MsAlba replied to goingtothedogs's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A&P1 is a lot of memorization of bones and such. It's really not too bad but I picked up "Pocket Anatomy and Physiology" by Shirley Jones. It has a section for bones, muscles, the nervous system, the brain the heart and so on. Great little pocket...
