   No, this was at a community college. And I didn't end up paying $500 at once. We have to pay $125 per semester for 4 semesters.

2. teas similar to the ged?

   LikesToWander replied to counterfiet's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi, I took both the GED and TEAS test and I found the TEAS test to be more difficult. I did really well on the GED, but did poorly on the TEAS. I think I did poorly on the math section on the TEAS because it seemed to me there were more word probl...

   LikesToWander replied to LikesToWander's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi all, Thanks for your input. The previous CC would only allow me to cover my tattoos with make-up. The only problem with covering up with make-up is I couldn't find any make-up that would withstand repeated hand washing, as the two tattoos ar...

   Hi, I was accepted into my CC's Spring 2011 ADN nursing program. I posted a thread on here somewhere about my tattoo story, but long story short, I had to withdraw from the program four weeks into the program because I was unable to cover my tatto...

5. Any guys with visible tattoos?

   LikesToWander replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Students

   Oh my god! This is the school that kicked me out! Apparently OCCC is notorious for accepting students with visible tattoos then telling them they cannot continue in the program because OCCC doesn't give them any viable options to realistically cover ...

6. Any guys with visible tattoos?

   LikesToWander replied to HardworkeRN1234's topic in Male Students

   Hi, I am not a guy, but I would strongly advise against getting any more visible tattoos, unless your facility allows you to wear long sleeves or something else to cover up. I have two visible tattoos on my left wrist/arm and have had nothing but ...

7. Nursing School/Tattoo Vent

   LikesToWander replied to LikesToWander's topic in General Students

   I think the location of the tattoo is interfering with the cover up makeup. I have no problem with the cover up on the one that is further up my wrist, but when I put cover up on the one that is closer to my hand, it washes off. The friction and pres...

8. Nursing School/Tattoo Vent

   LikesToWander replied to LikesToWander's topic in General Students

   Hi everyone, Thanks for all the advice and suggestions! I withdrew from class, as I talked with the VP of health professions and he said there was nothing I could do about covering the tattoos other than using make-up. It really angers me because...

    LikesToWander replied to jimboslice's topic in General Students

    I recommend the Outlander series as well! The main character, Claire, is a WWI nurse and gets sent back in time to the 1700's. I especially loved the nursing descriptions! Very interesting.

    LikesToWander replied to cgravier's topic in General Students

    Hi, We had to go to a mandatory general meeting for the nursing program and I kid you not, one of the first topics of discussion was about tattoos. The head of the nursing department went on and on about how tattoos MUST be covered and if you canno...

    Hi, I'm starting NS in January and my school has a strict no visible tattoo policy. I have two wrist tattoos on one arm and I have no idea how to cover them. We are not allowed to wear long sleeves, including lab coats. We are only allowed to wear...

    Well, I took the TEAS Version V last month and failed with a 63.4% I have a 4.0 in all of my math and science pre-reqs, but have a 3.83 overall GPA (stupid English-I'm not much of an essay writer). I have been asked by all of my college professors to...

    Hi, So I took the TEAS v.5 for the first time today and failed with a 63.3% My school requires a 67% to pass, which I thought was extremely low and scoffed at such a low number, but I guess I was put in my place. I used the ATI v.5 study guide a...
