7. How'd you learn bones & muscles?

   Laurie2000 replied to ceraleigh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is the website for the Biology book we used. It has computer matching games that were INVALUABLE. If you do it a little bit every day it is easy to learn. http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/classware/infoCenter.do?isbn=0072829532 Hit the Self Study...
