  5. Make up...?

    Angie O'Plasty replied to ails's topic in General Nursing

    Angie O'Plasty replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Renology? I think you mean nephrology--you must have been thinking of "renal". (Don't you love when the noun and the adjective seem totally unrelated?) I didn't realize oncology fell into the ACNP...
