   gerry75 replied to Shonqueen1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I did most of my pre reqs first and did not get accepted my first attempt. However, they did encourage me to reapply for the next class after I had more sciences under my belt, which I did and was then accepted. Study hard, and really absorb the kno...

2. So Tired

   gerry75 replied to Alisonisayoshi's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You need to find the right balance for you. Continue to tweak your schedule and work load and go with what feels right for you. That was really important for me to understand. I was in classes with people working full time and taking a full schedule ...

   gerry75 replied to britthohenbrink's topic in TEAS

   I believe a 68 is in the sufficient range. You should take them again and use the first test as a study guide of sorts.What did you find the most challenging? go back and study that. Good luck and trust me it is not the end of the world if you do no...

   gerry75 replied to tortia1's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The program I originally applied for last spring, I did not get in to. So I took some time to consider all my options and work full time to ( try ) to save money. The school encouraged me to re apply and keep my application active. So this December...

9. Feline Dissection

   gerry75 replied to ComeTogether's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I can relate to this. I had to do it last summer but my professor claimed that the cats were from shelters and would have been out to sleep anyway. This made it a little easier for me to grasp; I hope I was not naive and he was being honest. The idea...
