  4. anasarca

    momandstudent replied to momandstudent's topic in General Students

    I don't mean to come off sarcastic by any means but I know what anasarca is, I just don't know if it is a medical diagnosis or not. I guess I should have made that clearer in my question. Sorry...

  8. How difficult is math in nursing school?

    momandstudent replied to futurenurse1710's topic in General Nursing
