  1. anyone have a nose ring?

    And I think that is totally fair! I just don't understand why one type of piercing is permissable and others are not. As to the discomfort during a cold, it isn't a problem unless you haven't taken care of the piercing and it is infected. Snot does n...
  2. anyone have a nose ring?

    Why are earrings OK..But not a nose ring??? They are both unnatural holes in your head. I have my nose pierced and I think it looks very nice. If I can't wear my nose ring, then I surely don't want to see anyone with any god awful metal in their ear...
  3. Take 7 classes in one semester to make deadline!?!

    I have taken 18+ hours every semester for 7 semesters...I have taken 21 a couple of time. SInce you have no other obligations, I think it is totally possible. I have done it. It's not EASY, but it's definately manageable. I have a 3.7 GPA..Not too sh...
  4. TEAS Scores???

    I recall our instructor saying our specific program average was usually in the 70s, but they had been getting higher every year..I guess I will find out when I apply LOL.
  5. TEAS Scores???

    Hi everyone. I just got back my TEAS results and I don't know if they are good or bad. My Adjusted Individual Score was 82.9%. (The Mean National was 70.8% and Mean Program 72.6%) My Percentile Rank was 86 National, and 88 Program. I didn't really s...
  6. Need TEAS help please.

    I just wanted to say thanks again. I feel like I did really well on the TEAS. You guys all gave me some great advice.
  7. Help me decide on pre-nursing

    First of all I would say to go for the ADN..That way you ensure you have college credits if you would like to complete your BSN later on..with the Diploma program you may have to start from scratch on a 4 year program. As for job shadowing, do you ha...
  8. Need TEAS help please.

    Thank you so much for taking the time to compile all of this. It is great and exactly what I needed. I had found a site for standardized test help and the TEAS was one of the categories, but it had EVERY type of math. Narrowing it down to Pre-Algebra...
  9. I was researching NCLEX pass rates for the state, just to see how our notoriously poor education system prepared our future nurses..and I was surprised by this..In 2000, Louisiana had the third highest NCLEX pass rate at 90.4%..and in 2004 the second...
  10. Need TEAS help please.

    I am in my Introduction to Nursing class (12 week summer session) and our teacher told us yesterday that we are taking the TEAS Monday..I don't have time to order a study book or anything, and I need to score well because our TEAS scores are factored...
  11. OMG! My feet are killing me!

    Someone mentioned Asics..If you have wide feet I wouldn't go with those. We used those in cheerleading and they KILLED my feet.
  12. Considering Nursing Don't Know Where To Begin

    I am currently in the Associate's program at NSU. It really seems to be a good program so far. I have finished all of my pre-req's, and am currently in the summer Nur 1050 class. I am so excited to start clinicals. I am not sure about the pay rates. ...
  13. Considering Nursing Don't Know Where To Begin

    Sure. What type of Nursing are you interested in? An LPN program? An RN program? I don't know what area you are in to suggest a school, but there are several good Nursing schools in the state. I am sure if you gave us a few more details, I could try ...
  14. Nurses: Who came from a dysfuntional family?

    BIG FAT YES lol. Drugs, Alchohol (Dad)..but that wasn't so bad because he was still a great dad despite his addictions. Mom also relied heavily on alcohol and anti-depressants. Physically and mentally abusive step-father is where I would say the majo...
  15. How did you know "your calling"?

    I spent alot of time in the hospital with my grandpa growing up, and I always felt a sense of comfort and belonging there. Then after my grampa died and I entered highschool, I kind of forgot that I wanted to be a nurse and decided to pursue my artis...
