   That is correct. It is a pretty easy math test. Just brush up on how to do basic math (multiplication, long division, adding, subtracting). ALSO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS. If it says round to the nearest hundredths, then they mean that!

8. What to study before starting degree

   Etrips replied to kitkat491's topic in General Students

   My biggest suggestion is to start practicing NCLEX style questions. Once you get into the nursing program, the tests/exams will be completely different from what you are used to. You have to think like a nurse using "critical thinking" methods in ord...

10. What is happening?

    Etrips replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in General Students
