  2. Did I Mess Up?

    You don't need to worry at all. The greater percentage of students have withdrew or even failed courses, and still got into their program of choice. One withdraw is nothing to worry about, so relax!...

    You need to figure out how you learn best and develop a study routine around that. I typically study about 30 minutes to 1 hours for Microbiology per day. I have develop a studying method that is...

    What kind of things did they say? I have a hard believing that anyone in a nursing program would actually have a problem with this, maybe some of them were being sarcastic. The closest thing to an...
  9. CMA v.s LPN

    I have the opportunity to attend a great LPN school, but I am currently two semesters into an equally great MA school (Associates Degree). However, I will be starting RN school in the Fall of 2013. MA...

  14. Do all programs require TEAS?

    No, not all program do. There are a variety of nursing school
  15. Doc Wannabe?

    I agree that becoming a Physician requires an immense amount of drive; however, I disagree that age has anything to do with the decision to become one. I know for a fact that at different times...
  16. Doc Wannabe?

    Perhaps one day, after I have established a good credit score, I will consider applying for Doctor of Osteopathic medical schools, or maybe I will become a Nurse Practitioner. With the shortage of...
  17. Well, GC may not be an option for you. You would have to attend an information session and meet with the nursing program secretary in person in order to be considered. GC requires the TEAS V with a...

  23. Does this sound crazy?

  24. Low ACT means low TEAS

    A low ACT does not equal a low TEAS score. They are formatted differently and they cover slightly different content. I score a 22 on the ACT and a 70.7 on the TEAS V. 22 / 36 = 61%, so I actually did...
