   espo44 posted a topic in Michigan

   I've heard that A&P (Bio 2870) at Wayne State is a killer anyway, but has anyone dared to take it during Spring/Summer semester? I would imagine that would make it even harder as it an abbreviated semester. But I'm trying to plan my prerequisit...

    espo44 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have to take it and I HATE HATE HATE algebra. Does this mean I will fail Stats? If I hate and am not very good at alegebra, is it a lost cause? I'd hate to think that this ONE class will stand in my way of applying to the Nursing school I reall...
