Medical Terms and Their Abbreveations

Published

Here is a list of medical terms and their abreviations I generated from a search I did. Can you think of any others? You see I am not yet a nurse or a nursing student. I am starting college next year doing my sciences as an undeclared then transfering into nursing. You see my grades are not quite good enough to get in to nursing school right now so I reckon that I should just go in undeclared and get the sciences done and then try to transfer in.
