1. ATI Predictor Exam

   AnEStar replied to chavy21's topic in Student Assist

   I took my Predictor in October. I actually used UWorld to prepare for my ATI comprehensive predictor. Besides the Hurst Review in August, I did not do any other studying. I received a variety of questions which were all equally distributed. I'd focus...

3. Emory Residency Winter/Spring 2019

   AnEStar replied to studentnursej's topic in New Nurse

   Hello all! I interviewed as well and haven't heard anything. I don't expect to hear anything soon as my name is kind of at the end of the alphabet. Tisha said that it would take some time so I'm trying to be patient. It's pretty hard but I'll let you...

4. iPad Pro for notes

   AnEStar replied to TinaMWrtr's topic in General Students

   I'm going to third what the two previous posters have said. I also have the keyboard attached so I can type notes in notability as well!

5. Is nursing school really awful?

   AnEStar replied to makykh's topic in Pre-Nursing

   At my nursing school, there is a lot of busy work. Is the program awful? No. Whatever you put in effort wise, you will get out of the program. There may be tears, there may be moments where you're so happy you made this choice. It's doable, you just ...

6. How many hours do you study for?

   AnEStar replied to LubbDubb77's topic in General Students

   I'm in semester 5 of 5 now in my program. For a regular week I'd study about 12-20 hours depending on the material coming up. Without a doubt, the Sunday before classes, I had my head in a book for a good 6 hours or I was watching a video on the curr...

7. UMHB Fall 2018

   AnEStar replied to pandababop's topic in Texas

   -Read the assigned readings. Know your text inside and out. Ask questions. Go in to each class PREPARED. Challenge your instructors, in the end, they want you to soak up their knowledge I'm currently in my 4th semester. I have a previous degree in B...

8. 1hr Drive to Nursing School

   AnEStar replied to hamolady's topic in General Students

   Why didn't you apply for UMHB Spring 2017? I commute from the clear creek gate there and it's about a 30 minute drive one way. If you're desperate, I guess you'd just suck it up and do what you have to, but there are other options out there. I wanted...

9. What Prerequisites Does Your School Have?

   AnEStar replied to OliveOyl91's topic in Pre-Nursing

11. Reading?

12. New student

    AnEStar replied to Katie19973's topic in Share Tips

    Anatomy and Physiology wasn't that hard for me. I read the book, did all the assignments, and practiced practiced practiced. I would use sheet protectors and labeled whatever we were going to be quizzed and tested on. If you are confused, re-read the...

13. UMHB Fall 2016 (Mary Hardin Baylor)

    AnEStar replied to law154's topic in School Programs

    I didn't really study for the Kaplan like I planned to. But I did review a minute portion and I did very well. I would advise you to know your grammar, anatomy and physiology, and practice reading comprehension. My test involved a lot of cardiac, whi...

15. Second Degree Encouragement and advice please!

    AnEStar replied to Beyond's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Are you saying taking courses like Microbiology is based on GPA? I actually completed majority of my B.S. in Biology at Georgia State. Unfortunately, at the time I attended GSU, A&P together were not required for my degree. I had to take the lab ...
