    Stop freaking out over COMPASS math!

    NurseGirl525 replied to Biosciencegeek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right, but I haven't seen anyone stressing about those tests on here. I see people worry about entrance exams and NCLEX. I'm glad I did what I did on the Accuplacer because I took 2 semesters of...

    NurseGirl525 replied to nsyuri's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why do you want to be a nurse? This is my question because most people are thrilled when they get accepted. They don't wonder about learning a foreign language. I suspect, you do not really want to...
