  1. Nursing school Clinicals

    LubbDubb77 replied to Trinity33's topic in General Students

  4. Cheating in nursing school

    LubbDubb77 replied to direw0lf's topic in General Students

    LubbDubb77 replied to kyleroman95's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Lower Columbia College Fall 2018

    LubbDubb77 replied to LubbDubb77's topic in School, College Programs

    That score is probably just grade awarded points. They combine both the grade awarded points and the TEAS test score. So, yes both scores matter. You can make up for scoring lower in grade awarded by...
