2. Anyone taking Micro with Nursing?

   betsyMT2003 replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

   I ended up having to take Micro as a Saturday course so that it wouldn't interfere with the days I had to leave "open" for clinicals, so in a way that did work to my advantage - never had a nursing test on the same day! It sure did make for a long d...
