Hi cmm4ever. I am in PN2 nights. Ive gone to ECMC and Buffalo General for clinicals. In PN1 for the anatomy and physiology they go over each system one by one, so brush up on basics. I found the...
The entrance exam was pretty basic, just a lot of reading then answering questions, and basic math. adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. also fractions and decimals. im at the potter rd...
