    Halcyonn replied to Apodomvin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Insane Course Load ?

    Halcyonn replied to mms97's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally wouldn't take three sciences at the same time. I always scheduled my classes so that I had, at the most, two sciences per semester. I would pair the classes that I knew would be intense...
