   misssarab.5 replied to Val0512's topic in General Students

4. TEAS V TEST!

   misssarab.5 replied to LPNDreamer's topic in Pre-Nursing

   For me it was definitely Science! Which was surprising because I did very well in all my science classes and felt like it was going to be the easiest for me. There's just so many things to study for so it's hard to know it all. I thought math would b...

    This reminds me of one of my old clients and her 15 yr old daughter. She too would sleep in really late. I would do both of their laundry and cook for both of them. And while I cleaned she would be missing school laid up on the couch watching Jerry S...

    misssarab.5 replied to MorningStars's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Your hopes are definitely not shot!!! I went to a community college on and off for a few years before I realized what I wanted to do so I wasn't trying my hardest. When I found out what I wanted to do and which classes I needed then I did very well. ...
