  9. Tricky/Unfair Nursing professor..HELP

    I would say that if the Dean reviews the course and finds no reason to revamp the class then there shouldn't be any reason to revamp the class. At my college I've heard of this situation coming up...

  14. A&P if you've never taken chemistry

    I cannot begin to explain to you how important it is for you to have a microbiology, chemistry and physics base in order to understand and grasp fully what is going on in the body for the physiology...

  16. Wearing scrubs at the gym??

    I think that it was completely appropriate for you to ask him about that. Just because someone is wearing scrubs doesn't mean that they would be a nurse or involved in any medical profession though....

  21. Finally took my PAX!

    I used freerice.com vocabulary tests in addition to the study guide. The study guide 3rd edition is spot on for mathematic and science preparation. Also I would search physics guides on cliff notes...
  22. NLN pre-entrance for RN exam
