    Cheating? Girl tells me to get a study girl so I can cheat

    Best study tools you can use for nursing prerequisites.

    RN403 replied to rapertchristom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Google Body (Google Zygote) is extremely helpful when it comes to studying for anatomy, IMO. It was my grade saver as I am a visual learner and obviously couldn't take the lab home with

    The Start of a New School Year

    RN403 replied to RN403's topic in General Students

    An iPad? Hmm, I should have went to your school! We still used good old paper, pen, and heavy textbooks in our program. While I could have appreciated e-books, I was grateful for my bi-weekly workout...
