    Dating a former patient

    bluescrubs replied to sarahg88's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would not date a patient or ex-patient. Never even let the chance for that to happen. There are so many people in the world, why would you need THAT ONE. If things end badly between you...

    Should I take the HESI after A&P2 or A&P1?

    bluescrubs replied to exiledexecuted's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    To me it was basic anatomy that you will learn at A&P1 so I think you can take it. Make sure you take chemistry and microbiology or regular biology before you take the hesi. I have the study guide...
