    A&p 1 Only?

    suzy253 replied to letthejourneybegin41's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    suzy253 replied to hawkeye02's topic in General Students

    The main thing I can tell you is to stay focused. Don't let this get you down too much--it happens and you can bring your grade up. Don't let it get to you so bad that you think that there's no hope...
