1. Daytonite has passed away...

   aclays replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

   I've been learning from Daytonite for years after her passing and only just discovered why she seemed to have disappeared from allnurses. RIP Daytonite, I appreciate your hard work for students and the profession of nursing!

2. Nursing Apps for ANDROID

   aclays replied to redstepchild's topic in Headlines

   so far skyscape is the number one free app I've found for looking up drugs and procedures. I've used medscape, webmd, epocrates and a couple others. None of them compare.

3. Clinical - A Place for Your Things

   aclays replied to Deredain's topic in Male Students

   Every place will be different. I always took my backpack to every clinical, and would leave my valuables in it. Sometimes I'd leave my backpack in the staff room, sometimes right next next to the charge nurse depending on which rotation I was in. Jus...

4. Married Male Nursing Students

   aclays replied to exit96's topic in Male Students

   My wife and I got into nursing school during the same semester, so we've gone through our clinicals and classes together. It's been a pretty great experience, she's a very dependable study partner!

5. Nurses see us coming for clinical and RUN away from us. Irritating!

   aclays replied to thawk28's topic in General Students

   Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. We have had the opposite experience for our rotations which may or may not be due to the fact that it's a teaching hospital. All of the nurses, docs etc expect to have students around and so far everybody...

8. Who's taken the teas v?

   aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS

   My experience was that the math was exactly the same, they'd just changed the numbers. I got 100% on the math and I owe it entirely to the ATI study guide.

9. Who's taken the teas v?

   aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS

   While I don't know anything about the PAX review book, I do have experience with the official TEAS Study Guide that I purchased from Barnes and Noble for about $30. I studied the guide an hour or so a day for two weeks and got a 99th percentile score...

10. Who's taken the teas v?

    aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS

    Study harder on the material in that book. I spent a week focusing on that ATI TEAS V study guide and got a 99th percentile score. I didn't see a single thing on the test that wasn't covered in the study guide somewhere.

11. I can't get into any nursing schools!

    aclays replied to b00ger's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My school only had about 120 applicants for 70 spots, but I was apparently on the bottom of the acceptance list with a 3.6 GPA (on ~10 core classes that they use for acceptance, my overall GPA was a 3.1 as well) and a 99th percentile TEAS score. The ...

12. Who's taken the teas v?

    aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS

    I spent 4 days poring over the official ati study guide, took both of the practice tests that came in the back of the book, and then just went for it. I ended up with a 99th percentile score. I didn't see a single question that wasn't covered in the ...

13. Student thinking about joining Army reserve / ROTC

    aclays replied to aclays's topic in Government

    I don't mind being deployed to Afghanistan a couple times, but I want to know if I can guarantee it will be as a nurse and not as a soldier. If the government pays for me to get a BSN they'll want me to use it, right? According to the recruiter I wou...

14. Student thinking about joining Army reserve / ROTC

    aclays posted a topic in Government

    Hi folks, I'm a first semester BSN student thinking about joining the Army Reserve and ROTC program. The picture painted by my recruiter is enticing, but I'd like some outside input. According to a pamphlet titled "US Army Reserve and ROTC Benefits ...
