Hi. I'm so glad someone brought this up. The hospital/healthcare industry is the most wasteful industry in the world. Many say it can't be done because of all the instruments, needles etc.. needed to disposed of properly but there are many things that CAN be recylced and reused like saline, sterile water bottles. Can you imagine how many of those just ONE hospital uses in one day? Then think of all the hospitals in the US & the world, all those plastic bottles end up the landfill where they will never breakdown. It is disgusting. I started a recycling program at the doctors offices I work at. We now recycle all sterile/saline bottles and it's a lot from just one office. There was this one nurse I found online that started a recycling program at the hospital she works at and it has been very successfull, maybe you can google her and get some info but it really comes down to our elected officials. I have often wanted to go to my local congressman and voice my concerns but I would need some help. Let me know if anyone finds out more info on this subject because this is a passion of mine.

Hi. I just took the teas test last week. I did excellent on everything except the math. Brush up on basic science (it's not hard) and the english and reading is very basic, i didn't study for that and got a 90 & 85. You should brush up on the math though. There are some algebra equations on there, and some metric conversions. Please take this advice though, if you find out you're running out of time (as I did) on the math, just flip through the pages and guess!! I ran out of time and only completed half of the math and missed entrance to the nursing program by 9% (all because of the math). Now I have to wait a whole year to take the TEAS again-you can only take it once a year, which is a real bummer. Another year to wait to apply to the nursing program, so please take my advice. Again, the test is very basic-just concentrate on the math and your time! Good luck. Also, there are some antonyms and spelling but real basic, common knowledge.

hello, everyone. I will be taking the TEAS test to get into the nursing program on Feb. 1st, so i will let you know how it is. I bought the TEAS study guide, and it's horrible.(from ATI). Some of the questions are worded horribly (confusing), and also some of the subjects they talk about i've never even learned or heard of. I am lucky though because I still have my old books so i can go back to them and study.
