  7. Question (for those who have had nutrition)

    allthingsbright replied to treeguy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also took nutrition online over this summer and found it to be very, very easy. Of course, I am comparing that to nursing classes! Chem "might" help you a bit in nutrition. There is a section on...

    allthingsbright replied to xiloscient's topic in General Students

    allthingsbright replied to Bella Donna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
