4. Studying for the TEAS Test

   smudgetool replied to ICURN2017's topic in TEAS

   Sorry, but I've never been taught to NOT overstudy. Everybody is different. I agree that there can be too much information to plow through, but your score and your study habits are not indicative for the rest of the world. I agree to stick with the A...

7. Flu shots as a student anyone?

   smudgetool replied to yupthischickanurse's topic in General Students

   I never get the flu shot and I never get the flu. Nutrition, exercise and some Vit. D from the sun does the trick. Myself, along with the other nurses I work with (who also do not get the shot) always wear masks to protect our patients.

12. Future TEAS-V test takers.

    smudgetool replied to leroymon's topic in TEAS

    I just got the flash card study system and now I'm wondering if I have too much information to wade through. The flashcards are comprehensive, but they really aren't flashcards, in that there is just a great deal of text on each one. So it's not like...

    I'm (ahem) 51 and am finished with all my pre-reqs and on a SUPER LONG wait list for a program. I've already waited a year and it looks like I might have to wait four more. Last week, I visited a counselor for another school and they don't have a wai...
