  1. Simulating arm veins for practice IV's

    blue4thebeach replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

    Pre-nursing student here... Do students still "practice" on each others' veins for this? This is probably my biggest concern (fear, if you wish) in starting nursing school next year. I'm not...

  2. FAINTING...what made you drop?

    blue4thebeach replied to Music_Box_Dancer's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  8. A&P/Micro Online Courses for California

    blue4thebeach replied to Maseca's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Maseca, You have a good point about how it appears on transcripts. I know counselors are the ones that review your transcripts, so they might not realize it's online... if that's the case,...

  9. Which schools accept online prerequisite classes?
