   joel.mercado replied to joel.mercado's topic in New Jersey

   I'm using my phone to type this so bare with me. If I got into this program I'm pretty sure anyone, who's determined and works hard for it, can get in. I didn't take any college courses before applying to Muhlenberg. I was a senior straight out of Hi...

   Thanks everyone. I've contacted my professors to see if they could provide me with the syllabus in advance but they have yet to reply. It is a bit early I would assume but hopefully they send it to me as soon as they have it available. Does anyone kn...

   Hey everyone, I'm taking A&P 1 next semester and was wondering if there's anything I can do now to help prepare myself? Should I expand my medical terminology knowledge (prefixes/root words/suffixes) and better familiarize myself with the differe...

9. Refusing to dissect in A&P or Microbiology?

   joel.mercado replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I want to thank everyone for responding and sharing your thoughts and opinions with me. From my understanding some of you had to dissect animals in your anatomy class, while others did not. Hopefully my class doesn't dissect, but if we do I'll volunt...
