    Meesterjojo replied to Noob_to_Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Meesterjojo replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Meesterjojo replied to confused...'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Meesterjojo replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Today lab blew my little mind because she left us to our own devices and the manual doesn't give a very good description to separate Superior/Inferior and Proximal/Distal, nevermind Mediansaggital...

  19. School starts tomorrow- nervous!!!!

    Meesterjojo replied to Meesterjojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
