    jena5111 replied to reka2014's topic in General Students

    My best advice for the dosage calc exam (which happens during the first week of the semester) is to PRACTICE using a dosage calc workbook--especially if you took pharm through ACC. The workbook...

    jena5111 replied to jena5111's topic in Texas Nursing

    Judging from the Spring 2013 Hopefuls thread, it sounds like the ADN notification comes via US mail (letters). Not sure if that's changed for this application cycle. Keep checking both--we're almost...
