1. Fall 2011 Hopefuls

   tmarie replied to lovesunshine's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm hoping to get accepted for Fall 2011 as well. Applications don't come out until February 1st. I will need to take the TEAS sometime between Feb 1st and March 1st (when the applications are due). Unfortunately my community college's nursing depart...

2. Possible to study for Teas for only 11 days and do Well?

   tmarie replied to MeowMix24's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am interested to read the replies. The nursing dept at my CC says that it won't know which version of the TEAS it will be using for next year's applicants until "sometime in January". The applications come out in Feb and I think they are due by Mar...

3. How competitive are CC's?

   tmarie replied to xInspiredx's topic in Pre-Nursing

   That is similar to how my CC's program works. 4 points are awarded for every A received in science prereqs, 3 points for every A received in non-science prereqs, a perfect score on the TEAS counts as 20 points, for a grand total of 53 possible points...

4. Risks of contracting diseases - studies, statistics, or evidence?

   tmarie posted a topic in General Students

   I did a search on the subject and found a few threads, but didn't really find the answer I'm looking for.... I have a certain family member who will not get off my back about the risk I will face of contracting diseases as a nurse. I know that there ...

5. Grades... bad

   tmarie replied to AndyLorentz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   This is my understanding as well. I think I remember seeing that on the applications of both colleges I applied to when recently returning to college. I am in a similar boat - although my lovely semester of F's (after 3 semesters of all A's and B's ...

6. Are we a dime a dozen?

   tmarie replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I know some programs do use interviews and/or essays as a part of the application process, but I'm glad that the community college I am attending doesn't. I went to a "pre-nursing advisement session" and the director of the nursing school said that t...

7. How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

   tmarie replied to tmarie's topic in General Students

   I can really relate. I probably would have dropped one of these Summer classes if I could have. It didn't start feeling super overwhelming to me until just a couple days after the deadline for dropping. I'm at the halfway point and so far I am gettin...

8. How long did it take you to complete your prereqs?

   tmarie posted a topic in General Students

   Just curious... How long did it take you (or is it currently taking you) to finish all of your prereqs? I am so tempted to want to cram all of my prereqs into 3 semesters so I can apply for Fall 2011, but the 10 credit hours I'm taking right now duri...

9. Pre-Nursing Nurse Camp!!!!!

   tmarie replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think that sounds awesome! And just for the record, I think even what you call your "lazy" writing is much more articulate than some of the posts I've seen around here that were written by much older and more experienced students. Don't listen to t...

10. MATH and trying to learn it

    tmarie replied to colton_waite's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree w/ the others: try youtube and other instructional websites. A good one that really helped me brush up on the basics was http://www.coolmath.com/ . Definitely take a placement test at a community college or wherever you plan on taking your pr...

    Good to know! Thanks for this info!

12. How do you wash your scrubs?

    tmarie replied to gumby1411's topic in General Students

    I'm glad I stumbled across this thread. I recently posted on a related topic, but my thread hasn't gotten any replies yet. https://allnurses.com/nursing-scrubs-uniforms/hospital-laundered-scrubs-482878.html I am just starting my prereqs, so I have a...

13. Hospital laundered scrubs?

    tmarie posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    I saw an article a while back about the increasing number of hospitals and other healthcare facilities that are making the switch from employee-owned and cared for uniforms to uniforms that are supplied and laundered by the hospital. I remember the w...

14. Any pre-nursing NWACC students out there?

    tmarie posted a topic in Arkansas

    Anyone here planning on applying for the ADN program at Northwest Arkansas Community College Spring 2011 for Fall 2011 admittance? Just wondering if there are any fellow NWACC students out there. I have a few credits from my previous days of college...

15. What to do??

    tmarie replied to yisy4u's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I am interested to read the responses you get.... I am in a similar predicament. I can get the prereqs done for my community college's ADN program by the end of Spring 2011, and will have the chance to apply for Fall 2010 entrance. But I don't want t...
