    winterlights08 replied to musaafirah's topic in General Students

  10. Planning "My Space" for Nursing School

    winterlights08 replied to ArrowRN's topic in General Students

  15. Should I take Chem or Biology?

    winterlights08 replied to bellebebe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would also agree with chem being the better choice, if you had to chose between the two. Bio is good for cell biology and genetics, but what you need to know will be covered again in A&P, but my...

    winterlights08 replied to RN-BSNheather's topic in General Students
