    Northstar Angel replied to Northstar Angel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Northstar Angel replied to Northstar Angel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Northstar Angel replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try using a mask. I had a lab partner who was sensitive to the smell as well, giving her headaches. Wearing a mask seemed to help her quite a bit! I'm jealous that you get a cadaver to explore....

    Northstar Angel replied to RNDreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
