  1. Future Nurse Practioner, materials to brush up on before starting program.

    Asira replied to scabby21's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  6. Question about nurses and prescriptions?

    Asira replied to rondo341's topic in General Nursing

  16. Good study guides for HESI A2

    Asira replied to iheartpersians's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The vocab part is pretty hard to study for. So many words they could ask.. maybe try reading some medical articles, or watching some medical based tv shows. All my friends who have taken the Hesi all...

    Asira replied to lindsay176's topic in General Students

    Asira replied to studentnurse228's topic in Florida Nursing
