No i don't think it's annoying. If your proud of your grade why not tell ur friends on facebook. With all that time of studying why should one have to hold back from telling people about their awesome grades?

hello... i was told by one of the nursing instructors to practice dosage calculations in the summer so that when i finally start the nursing program in the fall i will be familiar with it. does anyone have any advice when it comes to these calculatio...
