    Anatomy and Physiology I and II - drop out rate

    As a rule, instructors will not ever change the way they grade. Which makes sense, it can be very problematic if a student felt they were graded unfairly and failed a class while others, later, were...

    Important Question about Nursing!

    The answer to your question is to do whatever works best for you. For the sake of time, and if you already have most of your pre-reqs/co-reqs done, it probably makes sense to try to get into a...

    Important Question about Nursing!

    Note: by 2015, NP will be a DNP and no longer just an MSN. Then again, if you're young and you're thinking about the PA route, why not just go a few years longer and get your
  8. why have two posters in this thread made a necessary connection between "feminine" and "empathy and caring"? that seems to be even more prejudicial than the OP's actually pretty innocent question...
  9. I am starting this thread for all of us who are taking Micro over the summer. We just started last week, I am pretty excited. For me, the biochemistry can get a bit fuzzy but the rest of it is...

    Is it to late for me to become a Nurse?

    Good Lord, brother, you better not be too old. If you are, I am screwed! I'll be 46 when I graduate. My motto: illegitimi non

    Chem & Micro

    Microbiology fall 2010

    I wish you all the very best in Microbiology. I took it over the summer and while I wouldn't say it was really, really hard, the study time it demands is significant. Like A&P it has a good amount...
