    What are my chances?

    mindofmidwifery replied to caramelred's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Intro to bio online

    mindofmidwifery replied to amber0627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking it online now. My class consists of three quizzes and three exams, so it requires a lot of self discipline and concentration. If it had more homework it'd probably be easier. But it's not...
