The night Pharm teacher is hard, but you will learn your meds. They day Pharm teacher is easier from what I've heard. She puts more dosage calcs on her tests. I didn't mind the night teacher at...
Dosage Calc is really easy, if you know how to do math. The rest is conversion, the hardest part is going back and forth b/w metric and apothecary (drams, minims, etc.) If you have the time and/or...
I don't know how I feel yet either. It really hasn't been OVERwhelming. Just like going to regular classes, but for just a little longer. The information really isn't anything terribly new, or hard...
I just got my acceptance letter today for Jan '08 class. I can't wait. Has anybody else gotten their letter yet? I was wondering where is the best place to get all the medical tests done (i.e. Hep...
I got my health insurance through United Healthcare, short-term policy paid monthly. It's only $50 a month, but hey if I need it, I have to have it. I only need it until I get married and can get on...

I went to advising on Friday night. It wasn't too bad. Just lots of dates and lots of paperwork to get done. I didn't realize how much little stuff we would have to pay for (background checks, drug...
Yep, got mine too. It's about time, eh? We'll finally find out what we going to be in for! I'm going to do my advising as soon as possible. In case there's anything that I need to get

I ended up getting my 1st Hep B and the T/D shot at the Common Ground Free Clinic in Algiers. They're very nice over there. Have to go back in 2 weeks for my second. Now I just have to work on all...
Has anyone gotten their Hep B Vaccine series started yet? The one place I found that would do it, stops giving it after age 18. (I'm a wee bit over 18) Anybody found a good place for the series yet?...
Lemme just add some info, I don't have a job at a hospital nor do I have health insurance, so I'm out of luck in that department. I tried the East Jeff Health Dept (I live in Metairie, Louisiana) and...
