    zbb13 replied to CareerChange2011's topic in Illinois Nursing

  6. C's from anatomy.... help me

    zbb13 replied to elis27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. The Wait is Killing Me!

    zbb13 replied to princsheather's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some of us have no backups because only one program will suit our needs (childcare, traveling distance, cost, etc.). So, we may appear disorganized, but in reality, we are doing the best with what we...

    zbb13 replied to tanelson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Has anyone ever felt like.......

    zbb13 replied to WindyhillBSN's topic in General Students

    I dropped A&P because of the Professor. It's a difficult subject, and I needed someone to "teach" me rather than me getting the info myself. I have an excellent instructor now and am learning...

  16. Sick of people who think Nursing will be easy!

    zbb13 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I loved micro and thought it was fascinating. Can't say some of the other students agreed. The professor was very educated, a cut above. The tests were so hard, but I learned so much. I felt very...

    zbb13 replied to katebean04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    zbb13 replied to VannVann2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
