Hey there! First of all, let me say Congratulations!! My advice to you is try and get some of the medical terminology down before you start. Maybe some latin prefixes. It will help you understand so many terms. (ex: suffix ectomy is removal. itis is inflammation) When you start the program, really read your Med Surg book. You will always use it! Best wishes to you! I know you will succeed!
