    CrazierThanYou replied to CloudySue's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    CrazierThanYou replied to wannabeanRN90's topic in General Students

    CrazierThanYou replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    Mine is cute! We have to take ALL out books to class because we never know which ones we need. Our instructors are pretty much just pulling stuff out of their *** so we never know what's going to...

    CrazierThanYou replied to yesitslaura's topic in General Students

    I just finished pharmacology. Ours was a 16 week course and not a whole lot of time was spent on it. I'm getting ready to start second semester if this snow ever moves out of here! We have to buy...

    CrazierThanYou replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students
