   Whew! That's such a load off my mind! I don't mind hard work, but I have some severe anxiety regarding pharm so that really helped me hearing that. I've noticed most of the undergrad professors are great there, and I'm glad it's no different for the ...

    MikeRN84 replied to MikeRN84's topic in Men
