I am so happy to hear that I am not alone in this! All of my friends in nursing school fall asleep the minute they hit the pillow. Its so frustrating because they don't understand why I'm always...
Yep, no need to read ahead. The teacher will tell you everything you need to know and will explain it much better than that big text book will. My teacher published an outline book so we didn't even...
It really depends on your professor. We had a periodic table with us for each of the tests. Also, you will want to have your basic math skills down because our teacher got very angry at some of my...
