    mariedoreen replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    A & P will require a lot of your time. And that's if you like it. If you don't like it it's going to require even more! So, if the other classes you have scheduled don't require much of your...

    mariedoreen replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students
