    calinicumurse replied to mrkim's topic in California Nursing

    calinicumurse replied to leny061's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The ones through ATI are not timed in the sense that there isn't a countdown timer for each section. There is, however, an overall timer that counts up, giving you an idea of how much time it takes...

    calinicumurse replied to Rachelynn's topic in California Nursing

    calinicumurse replied to JustD16's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Seems like a great statement! Rather long though, eh? The prompt says should be 2 pages. Do you think there's a maximum? There's an awful lot to cover in just 2 pages, but I guess conciseness is

    calinicumurse replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  11. Am I going to be able to make this relationship work?

    calinicumurse replied to Jaymesz's topic in General Students

    Like someone said before, it really is a test of how strong the relationship is going into school. If it's already lacking, maybe your best choice is to nip it in the bud. Otherwise, set up the...

    calinicumurse replied to amberella123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    calinicumurse replied to lgripe's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I've heard that SMU isn't that bad to get into if you're qualified. Have you taken the TEAS? It's hard with masters programs too, because you need to be confident in the specialty you apply for. Do...
