   akey77 replied to akey77's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yeah, it's not though. It stands for, Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies (BSIS) It just allowed me to take the courses that I would need for the nursing program anyway, while taking the TEAS and applying to nursing school. If I am u...

   akey77 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   So this past Saturday I took the TEAS exam for the second time and failed it. I have passed part of it but I missed reading by like 2 questions and didn't do so hot in math. Since this is the second time that I have taken and failed it, I have to ta...

6. Do you ever get sick?

   akey77 replied to akey77's topic in General Nursing

   LOL yeah having kids definitely gave me a stronger stomach, but the visual that I got of you flossing your 3 year old's teeth was definitely gag worthy. Usually it is only my own blood that bothers me and I can't watch it being drawn for some reason...

7. Do you ever get sick?

   akey77 replied to akey77's topic in General Nursing

   Ummm the smell of burned flesh - that sounds like a good time lol. Sometimes I sit back and wonder what makes me want to do this so badly lol. No, in all seriousness, I don't think I will have a problem except when it comes to the actual clinicals ...

11. Do you ever get sick?

    akey77 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am hoping to start the nursing program soon, and of course I am nervous about how difficult that it will be. Unfortunately, I am also nervous about getting sick. Vomit, blood and all that good stuff don't usually gross me out, but I'm afraid my n...

12. Will I get a job?

    akey77 replied to akey77's topic in Job Hunt

    Thank y'all for your replies. I have decided to stick with nursing. It is after all, what I've wanted to do, so I'm not going to give that up. Now, if I could only get passing the TEAS under my belt I'd be doing good lol. Thanks again

14. 2nd Times Test Takers!!!!

    akey77 replied to NurseRee-Ree's topic in TEAS

    You may want to try taking it in different sections. I didn't pass all of the sections the first time, so I am scheduled to take math and reading on one day (which I just barely missed passing the reading section) and then science a couple weeks lat...
