   I just found out I am scheduled to take teas 4 on the 25th of Jan. Very short notice, so I am stressed. I went to Barnes and Noble and bought the TEAS V book because that was all they had. Do you think it will be OK using V for teas 4? I need some k...

10. For RN's) How much do you take home after taxes????

    bfisher5560 replied to Flower2005's topic in Career Support

    bfisher5560 replied to bfisher5560's topic in ADN/BSN

    Wow, lots of info and opinions. I appreciate everyones thoughts. I am almost afraid to ask, but what is an OP? It appears, despite my age, the BS may be the better route. If I understand my CC advisor correctly, I can actually do my BSN through a...

12. At what age should you choose AS over BS?

    bfisher5560 replied to bfisher5560's topic in ADN/BSN

    Ok, that makes sense. So which would you do if you could have your choice? I thought I had everything mapped out and was on a perfect course to get in the program by doing my prereq's at the CC and getting in their program. Now I have new prereq's w...
