   I've been wondering the same thing actually. I'm curious about which books we need to carry around and which are simply to have at home for follow-up when studying (i.e. Taber's). BTW - There is a place online called Medisave that has good pricing o...

   I received the textbook listing for year one yesterday in the mail. After a quick check on amazon.com, all of the books including a couple of inexpensive study guides that could accompany some of the texts top out at about $930 if anyone is interes...

    My paperwork was delayed because my lovely HS didn't bother to send my transcript as I requested almost two months ago! I didn't find this out until the beginning of last week two days before the TEAS test when they called to find out where it was. ...
