  1. Did you know what specialty you wanted first or just stumble on it?

    *LadyJane* replied to MissIt's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

  6. How much do you remember from A&P?

    *LadyJane* replied to mell260's topic in General Nursing

    All nursing builds on A & P. You need it to understand all that follows, and you'll use your knowledge daily as you care for patients or clients. I feel like I have forgotten alot, but the...

    *LadyJane* replied to starmickey03's topic in General Students

    *LadyJane* replied to G2o14's topic in General Students

    *LadyJane* replied to LOLRN's topic in General Nursing

    *LadyJane* replied to dorimar's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
