  3. LS3 with Saunders

    BeachieRN84 replied to MsPC's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For the tissue trauma, alot of it is system specific, so for example you may get questions about post op for appendectomy, those interventions would be in the chapters covering the GI system. There is...

    BeachieRN84 replied to MsPC's topic in Online Distance Learning

    BeachieRN84 replied to BishopLPN's topic in Excelsior College

    I go over the EC content guide and then I compare it with my Saunders and pick out the chapters I need to study. For most of the core nursing stuff, I did the required reading in the M/S textbook...

    BeachieRN84 replied to savagetrojan's topic in Online Distance Learning
