    amyca replied to rpelayo's topic in California Nursing

    @UCSM: Yeah, I'm pretty sure the "Pre-Admission Advising application and Pre-Admission Advising fee" is the $50 fee and ABSN application. I didn't have to fill-out another application of pay...

    @USMC: Yeah, I'm pretty sure the "Pre-Admission Advising application and Pre-Admission Advising fee" is the $50 fee and the ABSN application itself.

    amyca replied to rpelayo's topic in California Nursing

    @USMC: I've heard the same thing Rpelayo mentioned; the ABSN considers the entire quarter/semester. @Rpelayo: I bet zoology was a killer! I almost think they should give extra points to those...

    amyca replied to rpelayo's topic in California Nursing

    @ USMC: I studied for about 2 weeks and then took the TEAS. I scored over the average 85.7%. I would say, figure out your weaknesses and focus on those sections. For me it was the punctuation...
