  4. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Nursing Math

    Dianacabana replied to stuffbubby541's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Dianacabana replied to acgal's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    One question? REALLY? huh. Well, I really liked Math for Meds (Curren) which did a lot of very good basic math in the early chapters. Also, what about a TEAS exam study guide? That would be of...
