    angelac1978 replied to manna's topic in General Students

  7. Which book is best to use when reviewing for NET

    angelac1978 replied to Godswill's topic in General Students

    nope no science. it's math, reading rate, reading comprehension, and then several sections that test things like how you learn best (social, solitary, auditory, etc), what major stresses you have in...

  8. Which book is best to use when reviewing for NET

    angelac1978 replied to Godswill's topic in General Students

    one more tip, dress in layers. when I took my test, the room was unbearable hot and they didn't let us have a bathroom break AT ALL! also, the reading comprehension part was kind of tricky, because,...

    angelac1978 replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in General Nursing

  12. FAFSA verification?

    angelac1978 replied to CaterpillarGirl's topic in General Students

    It's a random process that schools do each year. It doesn't mean you did anything wrong, or that you're not going to get aid. It's just one more thing the government requires schools to do. I've had...

  13. UT vs TSU

    angelac1978 replied to tshadwick's topic in General Nursing

    angelac1978 replied to Browneyedgirl's topic in General Nursing

    angelac1978 replied to Dixen81's topic in General Nursing

  23. Nursing without the "yukkies".

    angelac1978 replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing
