    MamaBeaRN replied to Depressed_RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Weeding Out.

    MamaBeaRN replied to SabineEffect's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there is a problem with "weeding out." I watched a lot of people get weeded out and each and every one of them was not meant to be a nurse in my opinion. Micro was super hard, but it's a...

    MamaBeaRN replied to Lol1222's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You only need a 45?? That is incredibly low. Test anxiety or not, if you can't get a 45, you will not survive nursing school. Sorry if that's harsh, but the TEAS is nothing compared to nursing school...
