    NurseJeanB replied to sue10's topic in General Students

    NurseJeanB replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh DesertRain, I am so sorry. That is just awful. I know several people who have declined offers, but I don't know why they don't think you had a chance. Wouldn't they just put those declines back out...

    NurseJeanB replied to Sammygrll's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NurseJeanB replied to Spotty44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  14. Hardest pre-reqs?

    NurseJeanB replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. Compare TEAS results

    NurseJeanB replied to jackson145's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  21. Compare TEAS results

    NurseJeanB replied to jackson145's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay I scored something like a 91.5 and that was supposedly in the 99th percentile, but I am told that competitive scores usually range from mid 70s. I have a friend who scored 85 and she has a 3.6...

  22. When to apply?

    NurseJeanB replied to miranda819's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NurseJeanB replied to neb4882's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with TexasAngel and Blessed. You are young and your priority one is your son. I waited until my son was 10 before I went back to school, but I am not saying you should wait that long. (I feel...

    NurseJeanB replied to vicky3269's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
