Manual Dexterity

I'm not exactly sure what this is but I'm just wondering for anyone who's taken it does financial aid cover the cost if there is one, and did you have to complete yours during the program or before starting?

I am confused. Where did you see this?

"Manual dexterity is the ability to make coordinated hand and finger movements to grasp and manipulate objects. Manual dexterity includes muscular, skeletal, and neurological functions to produce small, precise movements. Development of these skills occurs over time, primarily during childhood."

It's on my requirements before turning in all of my things to apply for the nursing program, but there's just an X mark next to it with no details, I'm unsure if it's something they do as part of the application fee or is it something I'd need to pay for

It sounds like it's just an attestation that you're able to physically do things like give injections or perform minor procedures. I'm sure you can either check it off yourself and sign it or it's included as part of the general physical exam you turn in from your primary care. My program required a form from our doctor saying that we can perform the physical requirements of the nursing program, i.e. standing for a long time, using our hands etc.
