It says in the opening that you can get through it in a couple of sit downs. Unfortunately for me, I am either very stupid or just too disinterested in this subject to move through it that quickly. It took me a couple of hours to get through two chapters. Hating every minute of this topic. Good luck to everyone facing this prerequisite. Don't worry I'm not becoming a nurse. Thank God for us all.
