    livinglighthouse posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so jazzed. I was going to have to take Anatomy and Microbiology this fall. I've already taken Anatomy, but it has to be in the last 10 years, so I was going to have to take it over. The...

    livinglighthouse replied to seek1kees's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
