  17. help w/TEAS problem

    mangopeach replied to Tamc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Since you did not take it the first time, I don't think that would count as one of your attempts. (Not sure though, so you would need to verify with the school) If it doesn't count as an attempt, ask...

    mangopeach replied to studentrnnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
