   I just got the reply about the TEAS test. They are using the results as a guide for what we may need to focus on personally to be successful in the program. Fall of 2011 they will be using the test as part of the admission process though.

    GaLara replied to Blondie24's topic in Student Assist

    I am not a nurse yet, I am a student but I am a mom of a type 1 child. 555 seems excessively high! The rational of giving it after food does make sense bc it is true that if they eat nothing, or less than planned, they can get too much insulin. We...
