    Abigail612 replied to stratus93's topic in General Students

    Abigail612 replied to ns12's topic in General Students

    I would suggest taking A&PII first the sooner you take it after A&PI the better because you have to rely fairly heavily on what you learned in A&PI. I would take either Stats or Chem with...

  23. Health Assessment has got me depressed.

    Abigail612 replied to uhohbube's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My advice would be to complete the class. If you drop now it will still be a fail, it is better to complete the class and get the grade that you earned than to drop and get an F. You can try to talk...
