   RaspberryTX replied to Furwillfly's topic in Psychiatric

   RaspberryTX replied to Lunah's topic in Emergency

   RaspberryTX replied to prettyNpurple's topic in Texas Nursing

   I'm not really sure of everyone's age. It seems like most of the students are in their 20s. But there are a few in their 30s and 40s. There are probably some in their 50s as well but I am only...

   Hi, Just wanted to say that I'm in my first semester at UTHSCSA also (hmm guess I should probably start thinking up a new username since I'm in the program now). About the TEAS test, it isn't that...

   As far as I can tell it's somewhere in the Nursing School building. I can't find anywhere that shows what floor etc. I was also wondering what we were supposed to wear. I'd really like to wear...
