    Chemistry

    cracklingkraken replied to gracecngham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did take it. It was different from college level CHEM in my opinion, but having AP Chemistry gives you a better understanding. It is not necessarily require before college,

    Jobs to work/places to volunteer?

    cracklingkraken replied to PianoTiles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cover Letter outdated??

    cracklingkraken replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Nursing
