  16. A&P I- Histology

    Hi patiently_waiting, I'm also taking A&P 1, and I know how you feel about information overload. I just took my first test on Chapters 1-4 (including histology). It helped me to learn one type of...
  17. I've heard before on this site that most doctor's offices are hiring MAs or LPNs instead of RNs, because RNs are too expensive, but it probably depends on where you live. Most of the nurses that I've...
