    Meowbark- Hi fellow non-trad! I'm 25 and was hoping I wasn't the only over 20 year old! Did you get your TEAS score right away or are they making you wait? I had to wait 48 hours and it felt like a...

  7. Chemistry is going to kill me.. >.>

    Youtube, Khan Academy specifically, should help you. Chem is a tough subject anyways and having a professor that lacks the ability to sufficently explain things is tough. Rise above though, read the...

  11. nursing (humans) vs animal jobs

    Adding to my first post too, I plan to forgo children for a farm of rescue dogs and a California king bed that we can all snuggle in together. I suppose my nursing salary will support that
  12. I am really lucky in that if I'm explained something once, I pretty much have it. This really aided me in classes like A&P. However, on the other end of the spectrum I have some kind of number...

  19. I took Micro with A&P I and did well in both. Chemistry is my worst subject, mainly because it's been so long since I'd taken a course in it. I had no foundation and therefore had to work a lot...
