I got in!

Yes. I'm in school with psoe kids, some who are juniors in high school. They go to college only. They will be graduating high school with Associate degrees before they move on to the 4 year Universities. So if you got that early of a start, then yes.

Will my 11.5 get me into the nursing program at NHCC, or should I retake my TEAS test quick? I got a 4.0 on my first semester pre application prerequisites. A 75 on the TEAS test. I didn't study for it and hadn't been to school for 20 years when I took it. I just kind of wanted a practice run, but since it was an average score I felt that I didn't have to worry about it and waited to see what my GPA was going to be. Now I am worried. The strange thing about it was that I bombed the English/reading comprehension parts, and that is usually my strongest area. I don't know what happened. There is time to take 1 more test before the application deadline. I was told that you had to be at 11.2 to be competitive. Am I fine, or should I retake? Thanks.

I'm a combat vet also in nursing school, and also the opposite of a medic. Its a totally normal profession to be drawn to for those that were formally combat arms. I don't know why. From my company, I know at least 7 people who are nurses now, and a couple more including me pursuing it. Including my best friend who is a RN at a VA hospital. We were all from an Airborne Infantry unit(82nd) that saw a substantial amount of combat. Maybe that has something to do with it.
