  2. Advice on Schedule Please!!

    A&P I will require the most study time. Psych and sociology were really easy at my school. I got A's without really trying. English Comp... same as above. Stats is just a lot of drawn out...
  3. What classes did you pair with A&P I (Anatomy)?

    Hey everyone! Thanks soo very much for the replies. My A&P course is a 4cr (Lab+lecture) but the lab is done with the lecture (I don't have to schedule a separate lab). I'm not sure if that's par...
  4. Mathematically. challenged

    I had a bad early math experience (bad teachers mostly, luckily I'd consider myself mathematically inclined even now) and I asked my nurse friends if I was doomed. I suggest getting a basic dosage...

  14. So, you either have to take A&P II and Micro together or A&PII and biochem together or you die in a fire. Which do you pick? You're also taking an online writing course and a abnormal psych...
