   LittleCa replied to SNgirl21's topic in Health, Stress Management

   Hey girl, I'm so sorry. It sounds like you are struggling a lot. Nursing is a hard job on your mental health as it is. I want to preface by saying I am not a nurse. I'm six months from graduating...

3. Are most nursing programs a hot mess or is it just mine?

   LittleCa replied to LittleCa's topic in General Students

   LittleCa replied to LittleCa's topic in General Students

   No, that is not a thing. We had a meeting with the program coordination and the dean and they were all like, "oh really, we were unaware. You guys need to speak up." So yes, we are pissed off. And yes...

   I'm currently a third of the way done with an accelerated BSN and I'm very disappointed with how disorganized the program is. Mind you, this is a respected university rumored to be one of the best in...

   LittleCa replied to guest1059427's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

9. SBCC Spring 2020

   LittleCa replied to coo15's topic in School, College Programs

   I didn't get it. I had calculated to have about 80 points. I wanted to try again but I just found out you can only take the TEAS once. I'm pretty much tapped out. I speak Spanish, work in health care,...

    I know the feeling. Where I live there is only one nursing school in a 100mi. radius. They have a point base system and even though I scored in the range that made it in the past three years, I didn't...
