1. The TEAS. My experience and some tips!!

   mabear3 replied to vmarks's topic in TEAS

   Are you thinking of the same test, Chris? A lot of schools use the TEAS as an entrance exam for nursing school. Why wouldn't one prepare for it? It definitely is not a test of basic knowledge for science.

2. Difficulty of Science Portion

   mabear3 replied to lyn92's topic in TEAS

9. Going back for ADN

   mabear3 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Would love to hear other's thoughts on this! I have been a physical therapist for 19 years. I knew as soon as I started that it wasn't for me. I've learned that I am much too nurturing to push my patients the way they need to be pushed. I would rathe...
