3. Planning move to California

   DS22 MS replied to jnurse121's topic in California Nursing

   I'm in SoCal and it would be harsh on your kids asthma with Santa Ana winds. Cost of living here is slavery. I actually would love to move to Texas for culture. I'm a native and it's not the same...

   DS22 MS replied to Eunhaeda's topic in School, College Programs

   We possibly have the same counselor. IIRC Fall 2016 submission threshold was 67. The points threshold has creeped higher and I suspect will continue if other local schools are impacted. I'm applying...

   Just showing how difficult it is to find positions in health care from transporter to RN and the few opportunities people to have to fill "apparent" deficits. Tried military- too old. I'll shut up...

   Thanks. Because of back taxes liens from a personal business that went south I'm ineligible for assistance scholarship-wise with them. I don't have any drug or criminal records or other legal issues....

9. Why do some colleges only want you to take the TEAS at their school?

   DS22 MS replied to Jp381209's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   Sounds like money. I took mine the day after Christmas off-site bc it was the only place that had a spot open. TEAS test sites get filled up fast. It's tough enough prepping for them then having to be...

14. Funding fiasco for school,

    DS22 MS replied to DS22 MS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the insight. I saw some talking about the nurse Corp thing on Youtube. I don't have any issue working in a under-represented area at least I'd have work. Thx
