Sorry for the very late update. I was eventually offered both the job in the ER and the job in Peds. I ended up accepting the jobs in peds. The ER initially told me I didn’t get the job and it just...

So I just finished my last prerequisites a few days ago and took the TEAS today. I'm getting a little bit nervous. Without the TEAS I have 154 points. I took the TEAS through PSI so I have to wait "48...
I talked to an advisor last week and she said to have at least 160 points to be competitive and the 180+ range is typically definitely accepted. BIO 169 is the last class I need to take and I'm not...
