  1. What does this mean???

    marilynmom replied to SpecFuz's topic in General Students

    I am not in Nursing School yet but there are 2 schools here where you have to pass the HESI with an 80% (I think) to even get into Nursing School. It has anatomy, chemistry, math, physiology, english,...

    marilynmom replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Students

  3. Student nurse Jack MacFarland... Discuss

    marilynmom replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Students

  5. Student nurse Jack MacFarland... Discuss

    marilynmom replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Students

    marilynmom replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Students
