    @Daisy2016, it TOTALLY is! But I figure, like banging on a door with my hand, the more times I do it, the more numb my hand becomes to the pain. The nerve endings will shrivel up and and become...

    @mdana93, I've a BA and worked in design for a few years before deciding to change careers; I think there are a handful of non-sciencey degree peeps here on this thread as well. Are any of your...

    I totally agree. @Daisy2016, it's only your last shot if you chose to stop trying. With each attempt you'll improve. Just because you didn't get in to a school one year doesn't mean you wont get in...

    @to-be-nurse: Glad to know I'm not the only one who felt that way and commented! I was beginning to think my post sounded whiney and bitter lol. @everyone else taking prereq courses: remember your...

    Hi tdmah, Thanks for starting this thread! As a second time applicant, I don't have any courses to complete so right now I'm trying to keep myself busy by volunteering and reviewing some material and...

    Hi Ellie11, I think most of us understand that one of CASPer's function is to test our ability to think on our feet. What some of us are questioning (at least I am) is how effectively and accurately...

    Yup, you nailed it. I understand they're trying to get us to shoot from the hip & why. I'm not sure that'll lead to an accurate measure of characteristics though; kinda felt artificial to me. IRL...

    hi nursingbc21, Yup, I graduated uni with a liberal arts degree and worked some years in design. Seemingly very different from Nursing lol. My connection to healthcare began when I started helping...

    Hi Everyone! I just completed my CASPer test. I don't feel good about how I did. In fact I think performed pretty terrible. Right after the exam I just felt absolutely drained. There were moments...
