Wow I like your acronyms...May I ask what school you theme don't in Sept? I am also staring in sept and his is my third try. You are right these programs are accelerated and very fast paced. The first time i didn't take it serious an didn't know what to expect and ended up dropping out. the second go round I failed micro by 2 pts and I had to repeat the program so I going back but to a different program and area. I plan to be successful this time. I am gonna write your tips down and use them. Thank you

Buy a nmenoics book off of amazon. I borrowed my moms book for my nursing program and some of it helped.
Another one that helped me for pharm was "lol (beta blockers such as metoproLOL, adenoLOL, etc) dont sit well with respiratory.
