Hi Mommy Nurse2b, Yes, I applied for the Spring 06 term. I recently emailed Clint questioning when letters would be sent. He replied that they'd be sent at the end of the month or the beginning of November, and that there had been a delay. I did okay...
I am currently taking this course and find it pretty easy. It's not even half as intense as A&P I or II. However, there are people in my class that are barely passing and some are failing it. Maybe it's because they're right out of high school or...
