    LaceyRN replied to JustYouWait's topic in General Students

    LaceyRN replied to NurseBanana's topic in First Year After Licensure

    The TEAS is so basic in the science section, you can take it without A&P and Micro for sure. If I remember correctly, my TEAS had only 1 A&P question and no micro but that was 3-4 years ago....

    LaceyRN replied to kokoro's topic in First Year After Licensure
