    Drexel ACE Fall 2010

    PacoUSA replied to ilovelearning's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    The funny thing is that they say they will not evaluate your transcripts until you are officially accepted. But by determining whether you have completed 7 of the prereqs, isn' t that what they are...

    Are there any TEAS testing sites in California that allow calculators?

    PacoUSA replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only reason I would think someone would need a calculator for the TEAS is if they had a documented learning disability, no? Otherwise, NO they should not be using

    PacoUSA replied to ilovelearning's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    PacoUSA replied to nickynoodles's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks for the reply! How does one apply to the nursing program? It's not very clear from the website, seems to me like you have to call them to get started? I attended WCC previously (last...

    How Many Transcripts Do You Have To Request?

    PacoUSA posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm pretty sure she did not do the TB test right

    PacoUSA replied to happy2learn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the above, not all my PPD bumps ever looked the same (except the ones done by the nurse that tests us at the hospital where I volunteer). If you were infected with TB, any amount of that...

    Online classes good enough?

    PacoUSA replied to Addy3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
