  6. This. If I could go back in time, I would not go to nursing school. Sad, but true. They are so extra about everything. It's almost like joining the military. The funny thing is, my nursing school...

  23. Just wanted to celebrate!!

    Wow it seems that so far every person that's taken the TEAS 6 has gotten a high grade. I'm a little less nervous about taking it now lol.
