   mom2three3 replied to mom2three3's topic in Government

   Thanks for all of the replies. I guess It would be one thing to go from one income to two. That wold be adding money. But... who knows if and when hubby will get a job in corporate management where I end up. That could be a big loss of income for us....

   mom2three3 replied to mom2three3's topic in Government

   Well, I have run the numbers a million ways...soo, I have to use my loans to help pay for daycare for my little guy, so I need a less expensive per hour program...enter ADN. I would love to just go ahead and get my BSN, but the tuition is higher. I a...

3. Needing some advice and opinions... kinda down:(

   mom2three3 posted a topic in Government

   So here is the situation. I start my ADN program in the fall and had always thought I would go on and do my BSN, then go into the AF or Army. My hubby is 4 years from AF guard retirement and works a corporate job where he makes between 70-80K per yea...

4. bad credit and military nusing?

   mom2three3 posted a topic in Government

   I am thinking of getting into the Air Force or Army as a nurse and don't have good credit. Do they do a credit history when you join? Will it affect me? I had a job loss and some major medical bills from a sick baby and it just all piled up with some...

5. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

   mom2three3 replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS

   I took the Teas v twice. First time in Feb I got an 80% and in April I got an 80.7% and I find out in June if I got in. I am in the 94th percentile in my program and was told in my post TEAS advisement that I will most likely get in. We shall see!~

6. Eating Healthy in Nursing School

   mom2three3 replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

   I take baby carrots, protein shakes, bananas, etc. I eat a ton of fruit and veggies. I am pre nursing though and have not actually started my nursing classes (AUGUST!!) so, I may not be going as much as some. I too have lost 20 pounds! I run 4 days a...

7. retake the TEAS?/??

   mom2three3 posted a topic in TEAS

   I am trying to decide if I should retake the TEAS version V test. I apply for nursing school in May for a fall start. My school takes your overall Teas V score and adds in points assigned the letter grade you got for A&P, Eng Comp, and Psych. For...

8. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

   mom2three3 replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS

   We have a post testing counseling session where they go over your score with you. That was when they told us that ATI had informed them that the version 5 was a little more difficult and to expect lower average scores. My school then conferenced with...

9. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

   mom2three3 replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS

   Keep in mind that the score all depends on the version of the TEAS that was taken. The newest TEAS V is a much harder test and has an overall average score that is 8-10 points lower than the older 3 and 4 Teas versions. This is relatively new informa...

10. New TEAS V Science Section

    mom2three3 replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS

    reading wasn't bad... just read and take your time. the language was a lot of spelling words correctly and meanings of words as used in a sentence. You will be fine... don't freak. Just get the ATI guide and go through the sections and brush up...

11. New TEAS V Science Section

    mom2three3 replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS

    I took the TEAS V recently and it's a lot harder than older versions. My school is anticipating a 10 point lower average score... so far that is accurate. I got the ATI book and went through it for weeks. Math is a little algebra, a lot of long divis...

    Hopeful Army NP - I assume your are a nurse pract. correct? That is a masters right? I am looking at that path as well...I have a BS in another area, will finish nursing school in a couple years and then looked at doing NP, THEN going in. So Captain...

14. New officer initial training length?

    mom2three3 replied to mom2three3's topic in Government

    Oh no, it's not like that. I should have clarified. My husband has 10 years AD Army and 6 AD and guard AF so I am really not partial to either. Actually I am having a hard time deciding between the two to be honest with you! The length of initial tra...

15. New officer initial training length?

    mom2three3 posted a topic in Government

    I am a nursing student looking to go AD in either AF or Army. I know AF has COT but what is the time line for initial army training? If I can do 8 weeks AF, I would prefer that to 12 Army...It's been a while since I looked at it so I was trying to s...
