I will also add this, it’s easier said than done and breaking habits. Also do the test, and go to the recommended websites. do the book and the question. I learned that my brain is accessing more of the left side than the right. I also learned what I need to do, to access more of the right side, which should really help retaining and memory for the next classes. I recommend this book for any student in or out of college.5.0 out of 5 starsGREAT FOR NURSING STUDENTS!By RexVDH on December 8, 2014Quote:ATTENTION ALL NURSING PREREQS STUDENTS!This is a great book.
