I kept my part-time job as a tutor. Since I set my own schedule, I pretty much never went. I never had time. For a while, I would try to go one day a week when I didn't have any classes, but then...

These slides are AWFUL! Not even an ounce of formatting... I have a really hard time figuring out what text goes with what heading or if it's another heading all

I need a blueprint...a real one! So there are nine antimicrobial sections and then nine other sections? Am I right? (antianginal, cardio, shock, dysrhythmias, nitrates, coagulation, and...

And does anyone know what is on the pharm test, aside from all of the antimicrobial sections? I've been making word docs out of the antimicrobial stuff. I can email them to anyone who would like...

I actually get to school around 6:30 because I like to beat the traffic and then leave after 6:30 to miss it again. It just depends on where you live and what your views on sitting in traffic are. I...

J2 and up they do a "lottery." I'm not exactly sure how it works just yet. Everyone has a different story. So far, I think it is: they draw your name and then you pick what hospital/day you want to...

And don't panic about CPR and immunizations. You just need them before starting clinical, which is several weeks into the semester. Do get them done as soon as possible to get any series shots...
