8. Dissect a cat?!

   moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

   I'm all for watching. I could do that easily. I don't have a total aversion to it being done by others in my group or an instructor but me personally I'm just kind of blech about it. But, if it came...

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    moonbeamsmom replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning
