IMO, you have a very long time ahead of you on this earth and many of those years you will be working. If you think nursing is where you need to be, do it! Srs, its only 1 year after prereq's.... What do you have to lose?

A great place to start with Pharm is memorizing the suffixes. Heres a couple my school made us memorize. After you have that down, start relating common effects(ie side effects) to those medications. Remember that even though they are "side effects" ...
I'm in a similar position. It is a pud class (Interpersonal communication), but I will not be allowed to graduate and/or take my boards until its completed.

Make a point to spend time together, and when you do, keep school talk to a minimum. Give compliments and thanks for all the patience they have. I also randomly bring home flowers. But a biggie... Communicate!

One of my instructors HIGHLY recommended The RN and PN mastery apps for androids and apples. Also, she recommended the ATI RN Mentor app. The combo is about 50 bucks,she said it was completely worth it.

Surprising enough, I was just accepted to my colleges nursing program. Funny thing, my pre wont be finished until the end of this month. I think what tipped the admission in my favor was my TEAS test scores, pre's GPA, and professionalism. I placed 9...
