    I am in the process of getting a new car in the next couple of weeks. I travel a lot for my son's judo competitions and my 07 Trailblazer just isn't cutting it anymore. I've probably invested around...

    TEAS V TEST!

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

    For me the science has been the hardest on the practice tests. I have never heard of codons being on the test. It's a little more basic than that. Just a heck of a lot of chemistry. I will be...

    Want to go into nursing, but seriously off track, help?

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

    It seems simple to me. Finish your BA in history. Then look at schools you want to go to for nursing. You will have to complete the prereqs first. That is a fact. Get the prereqs complete and...

    NurseGirl525 replied to ceccia's topic in General Nursing

    I've learned many lessons in life, especially this year. When I graduated high school in 1993 I was so done with school. I hated high school and did not want the trapped feeling anymore. So I went...
