   ReginaK replied to Fearless_leader's topic in General Students

   Although I won't start nursing classes until January, I recorded all my A & P lectures. I have a cheap voice recorder that I got for $5 on craigslist. When I got home from each class, I listened again to the lectures and recopied my notes neatly...

   ReginaK replied to NicoleAlbertie84's topic in Pre-Nursing

7. School accreditation

   ReginaK replied to ReginaK's topic in General Students

   Thank you! What if it's not regionally accredited? What problems might I run into later? I've come so far that I really don't want to change programs unless it's absolutely necessary.

10. Science ADVICE! Where to begin.....

    ReginaK replied to Neuro_Eck's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Really? You have a 4.0 and read medical books just for fun? You are going to do fine in the science classes. They are much easier when you have an interest in the material, and it sounds like you will. I would only recommend taking Biology before A&a...

11. Frustrations of an older student

    ReginaK replied to suzilks1's topic in Pre-Nursing

15. Did you score higher than 90 on TEAS V?

    ReginaK replied to StudentN123's topic in TEAS

    I took it in March and got a 95.3% over all. I hear so many people say they ran out of time..especially in the math portion. Be sure to brush up on fractions, long division, multiplication, and basic algebra. Get a hold of a workbook and work the pro...
