  1. Help!!!! Ques for a nursing student need tonite

    GOMER42 replied to BeOne77's topic in General Nursing

    GOMER42 replied to Not sure student's topic in General Nursing

  3. nursing student question 2

    GOMER42 replied to BeOne77's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    GOMER42 replied to SaraO'Hara's topic in General Nursing

  10. Can someone help me interpret my TEAS exam scores??

    GOMER42 replied to BabyNurse_PJN's topic in General Nursing

    Interpretation: You need to study some more and retake it. With as competitive as it is to get into nursing school, this score is not going to cut it. Look at the results that show your score for each...

  11. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    GOMER42 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    Although you rightly feel violated, what did you really expect would happen when you pretty much said: "Hi, I need the afternoon off because I tested positive for a highly communicable infectious...

    GOMER42 replied to nessajune21's topic in General Nursing

    GOMER42 replied to tamarin100's topic in General Nursing
