3. Nursing Interview Questions (Part 2)

   NACovey replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Hunt

   Stacey30, do you remember what you said for the first critical thinking question? I think I have my answer but I guess I'm not really sure what they want to hear or what not :-) Any help from anyone else would be appreciated to the first question: W...

   NACovey replied to nervouswreck757's topic in TEAS

   I think my average was a 77. I got into the BSN. Just depends how good everyone else does of your chance getting in.. if they go off a point system.

5. Common nusring school schedule???

   NACovey replied to stella2570's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I just got accepted to a BSN program. I don't know definite times for classes, as we do not find out our schedule until Nursing orientation 3 days before the semester starts (kinda weird). But I emailed the assistant director and we will be doing cla...

6. Geezzz..the wait on accepantace/denial for NS

   NACovey replied to keepmovingrn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We had to have our apps and testing complete by February 15th. I found out May 13th that I got accepted! Good luck!

7. Is nursing for me? I just need to "talk" through it...

   NACovey replied to chaplainjanie's topic in General Students

   Wow it sounds like you've had quite a ride. In my opinion, I say go for it. I don't have the background like you do (no children, no degree yet) but it sounds like, for right now, that nursing school would be the best option. And by the sounds of you...

8. what would you do?

   NACovey replied to kbucksn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had high school chemistry (10th grade). If you take chem, and start the basics, then take the TEAS test while you are in chem, I think you will be fine. I never took chem in college for nursing school and the TEAS test was still confusing on the ch...

9. Is this actually possible?

   NACovey replied to Steve445's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Check if your school has a grade forgiveness type of thing for classes you get a D in. If not, I was told when I asked about retaking classes, that you have to go to a different school that accepts the transfer credit and then retake it there. Either...

10. I think I made the wrong decision....:(

    NACovey replied to iwanttobeanurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just replied to a post exactly like this.. and I will repeat myself. Don't let what you hear about all the horrid paperwork and awful doctors and cranky families scare you away from what you want to do. If you were passionate about becoming a nurse...

11. Becoming a CNA

    NACovey replied to gggaaabbbbyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm from Florida and there was an Adult Education center that had CNA classes. And definitely through a community college or better yet a technical school. I was a CNA for 4 years and finally got to quit to focus on nursing school. I LOVED it don't ...

12. Straight B student?

    NACovey replied to magichospital's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Science classes matter most, in the end. If you are neck and neck with another student about to be accepted, they will look at science grades for the final answer. I got maybe 2 C's in my gen. ed classes and the rest A's and B's in sciences and math ...

13. I GOT IN!!! NOW WHAT?!?!?

    NACovey replied to Shandra2008's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I find it so funny that once you get accepted, all you want to do is stuff for nursing and stuff to start school. I got accepted for Fall too and it starts in mid-August... therefore I have over 2 months. I want to start NOW but I need to realize tha...

14. What are your personal perceptions.....

    NACovey replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Students

    Does this mean... what do you think about keeping a dying patient alive as long as possible? That is kind of what it means to me.

15. Decisions

    NACovey replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Yeah and when I said about being "older" I meant like over 50 older. A woman I used to work with was going back to school for her RN and she was 52. And she would make a GREAT nurse. I sit and pout on how everyone I graduated high school with have t...
