  2. When to apply?

    quixotic.dy replied to Crumble's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. HELPP-When to take Pharmacology??

    quixotic.dy replied to lk_nynurse2b's topic in General Students

    It's pharmacology which is a hard science not some theoretical based class. I doubt you will be missing any information. Take it at the community college where it is likely cheaper, then transfer...

  9. Touro University Nevada

    quixotic.dy replied to PacificRim's topic in Nevada Nursing

  12. Sure didn't expect this!

    quixotic.dy replied to thegreenmile's topic in Retired Nurses

  13. Healthcare gadgets--- Where DID that name come from?

    quixotic.dy replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    I can answer this, kind of. It's because UCs are well known for being California schools. So UCD would be University of California at Davis not University of Colorado Denver. Of course this...

    quixotic.dy replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

  21. Nursing school is not a back up plan!

    quixotic.dy replied to happyinmyheart's topic in General Students

  23. Bio 223 at CSN

    quixotic.dy replied to jcw702's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
