   hayest replied to hlr2752's topic in Nurse Disabilities

5. Failed teas V twice...What should I do?

   hayest replied to heyitsme728's topic in TEAS Exam Help

   Unfortunately, there are some people who are not very good test takers, but that should not stop them from pursuing their nursing career. Einstein was a poor test taker, as well as hundreds of other...
