7. Making a choice of Schools

   Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

   As long as I don't have to get up at some really early time of day just to take it, then I can probably make a decent score on it. For the The SAT and TASP I had to get up really early (7:00am) and I...

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas Nursing

    I've got it down to either El Centro or Brookhaven. El Centro has the lead because it's a lot easier to get into (pre-req wise) than Brookhaven, but Brookhaven is closer, and the college credits I...
