    How much do you remember from A&P?

    GilaRRT replied to mell260's topic in General Nursing

    I actually understand and remember more than I did when I took A&P a decade ago. Regarding five bone tissues, the answer is much easier than you think about it: blood vessels, periosteum, nerves,...

    if u had to choose another career in healthcare besides nursing, what would it be?

    GilaRRT replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    I hunt on occasion; however, I will utilise as much of the meat as possible. Even the scraps do not go to waste as they can go into a good chile. The meat does cut down on the food bills during the...

    One of these days we will actually look at one and other as human beings and let the absurd concept of male versus female dominance die a horrible death. The only question is will it occur before or...

    I don't understand the diff between ADN & BSN????? Help!!!

    GilaRRT replied to Misslady113's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
