    You still have a shot, your grades aren't poor! Study for the TEAS and do well on your essay! Get the ATI study guide - San Diego uses version 3.0/4.0, and even take the online assessment to practice....

    TEAS EXAM: I failed...Anyone take it with some advice?

    ExPharmaGirl replied to karenroxx's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Oh, and the tests are different each time. If you had basic science in high school and that was almost 20 years ago, like for me, it is a little difficult to remember. My pre-reqs for NS were A&P,...

    ExPharmaGirl replied to Ava82's topic in General Nursing

    CCNE Accreditation is important???( Urgent )

    ExPharmaGirl replied to Ava82's topic in General Nursing

    Be careful with that. We have a program in San Diego that has been saying that for years and has never attained it. I can't remember the name of the school. There is no guarantee that they will get...

    CCNE Accreditation is important???( Urgent )

    ExPharmaGirl replied to on eagles wings's topic in General Nursing

    I start school in July (BSN) and we don't have either class. I believe patho is incorporated throughout (it would have to be, otherwise you couldn't do your job as a nurse). I have a pretty heavy...

    ExPharmaGirl replied to amy123123's topic in General Nursing
