    KristinaT replied to KZE15's topic in California Nursing

    KristinaT replied to long2beanurse's topic in California Nursing

    KristinaT replied to pdf1691's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    KristinaT replied to joel.mercado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I thought I would have a problem with the cat dissection when I took Anatomy because I have my furbaby at home but I actually just jumped right in. Once you get over the initial "Oh my god, that's a...

    KristinaT replied to samanthajo23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
