    Hydakins replied to Sensoria17's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hydakins replied to JennyMac's topic in New York Nursing

    That commute will be a breeze for you. Good luck! Yes you will be able to find studios and maybe even 1 bedrooms in that price range. They are currently building and rebuilding, so it's a good time to...

    Hydakins replied to karen230's topic in New York Nursing

    Hydakins replied to rnaffah's topic in New York Nursing

    Hydakins replied to KMP77's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    They want you to have Organic, Inorganic and Biochemistry. Most schools have the first 2 in one course and the Bio in a second course. I dont think that they take general chemistry unless the schools...
