2. For anyone considering/beginning nursing school, let's help each other!!!

   hopefulabby replied to Infinisynth's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Sounds like a great idea, but just a word of caution with such a public discussion of NS. Be careful with discussing, laughing about things that have happened with patients and faculty at school. I knew a girl who was dismissed from her program for ...

3. Factory worker one day ... nurse the next?

   hopefulabby replied to helikias's topic in General Nursing

   I don't think the OP clarified whether she thinks that the "factory workers" would diminish her beloved proffession or if the image that the fly by night nursing programs projected would. Regardless your statement irritated me even more. Living in a ...

5. How much to pay for an RN degree?

   hopefulabby replied to want2banrn's topic in General Students

   Is this for a BSN or ASN? How are the NCLEX pass rates for the school? I'm attending a public military college (I'm not in the corps, but it is a top rated disciplined university) and it will total about $15,000-20,000 for my ASN. What about finacial...

   You should have stuck to your opinions of nursing programs and left the "anyone with a pulse" comments out of it.

7. TEAS Score Question

   hopefulabby replied to dchurch68's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would ask your adviser if your percentile rank is accurate. I scored 88.2 % and my program rank was 97. From other scores that I have seen on AllNurses your rank doesn't make sense.

8. Preparing for TEAS test?

   hopefulabby replied to ppersad's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I found it to be very similar to the test. Just give yourself time to complete the entire study manual and you should do fine on the TEAS. It is very basic common sense kind of questions.

9. Preparing for TEAS test?

   hopefulabby replied to ppersad's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was required to take the TEAS. I ordered the TEAS study manual off of the ATI website. It was very similar to the actual test. It was $25 if I remember correctly. Good luck.

10. When do I apply to nursing school?

    hopefulabby replied to undecidedmajor's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Check with your schools. Mine does not require you complete the pre-reqs before going to NS if you are applying for the ASN program. You can complete them while you are in NS. So it is all subjective to your school. Just check to see what the require...

    Hi! I applied to NGCSU for 2010 as well. Just finished the TEAS last week. Scored 88.2%. A classmate that I talked to said that she scored 80% and her adviser told her not to worry about taking it again so I think you will be fine with your score (bu...

12. TEAS Score Question

    hopefulabby replied to dchurch68's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Congratulations on your score. I recently took the TEAS and scored 88.2%. My understanding from the sheet given to me explaining how it is scored is that your score is compared to a ATI (the company who gives the test) data pool of people who are ent...

    hopefulabby replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    The OP clearly stated that she had no problem working with any sort of people without taking part in their actions that she does not agree with. She said that she doesn't have a problem providing care for a woman who comes in post abortion with compl...
