the practical nursing entrance exam really doesn't contain that much nursing stuff. stop worrying, the department head knows that you are not a nurse. they are just testing you to see if you have the ability to learn the material they will literally throw at you. concentrate on math. especially ratio and proportion and the reading section of the test. find out the name of the test and look for it online. maybe someone in the class ahead of you knows the site. just use common sense and you will do fine! good luck!!

I had a prof who made a VERY convincing argument that ALL philosophy, all the different schools and ideas they are based on, can be traced back to a search for God or for the search for proof of his existence

I would imagine it would be hard to do interior design online. Such a large percentage of the classes are hands-on, visual, computer based (like CAD, photoshop, etc). And an important part of that kind of program is about feeding off your classmates to generate ideas, working in teams, etc.

I would try amazon.com

But that seems like it might be a very outdated series. If you want up to date information, i would buy seasons of The History Channel's The Universe. It is very informative and is well made. I love it.
