    aclays replied to aclays's topic in Government, Military

    I don't mind being deployed to Afghanistan a couple times, but I want to know if I can guarantee it will be as a nurse and not as a soldier. If the government pays for me to get a BSN they'll want me...

    No, but the questions on TEAS 5 are identical TYPES as the ones in the official ATI study guide. So basically if you understand the concept to ALL the questions in that study guide, you have no excuse...
