1. Going back to nursing school

   tas026 replied to tas026's topic in General Students

   I am currently working towards my BA, and my current school does offer an advance to BSN program for people who hold a bachelors degree. They only accept 30 students per year to the program, so I am worried about trying to get in since the nursing pr...

2. Going back to nursing school

   tas026 posted a topic in General Students

   In 2011, right after graduating from high school, I started at a local nursing school. That is all I wanted to do at the time, and I really enjoyed school in the beginning. I passed with flying colors, enjoyed working with the patients, etc. I had gr...

3. Where should I go?!

   tas026 replied to danielleshea2011's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would send an e-mail or leave a message to ask her if you can set up an appointment with her to talk about the nursing program. Just don't sound threatening, just sound interesting. Just tell her that you want to make sure you're getting the best e...

4. Nursing students i need your help!!!

   tas026 replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. It wasn't really a job, but instead I just found a nurse that would allow me to follow him or her for the day. My high school helped me find the hospital and nurse. You could also contact the hosp...

5. Am I doing the right thing?

   tas026 replied to createsomechange's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Here was my point of view: During my 1st semester of nursing school, I felt like I was completely overwhelmed. I was putting in 18 hour days everyday of the week between school, homework, studying, and my job, and then I was expected to study on my p...

6. For those who took A&P

   tas026 replied to lanebr85's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I wouldn't read into it too much to determine how successful you will be in your nursing courses. Honestly, the only time I've seen half of the stuff that we learned in A&P is in A&P! It is meant to challenge you. As a nurse, you also need a...

7. Advice for an unsure pre-nursing student

   tas026 replied to blueyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Are you sure that they won't count your credits? I've heard that some schools consider the credits if you have graduated with a bachelors in something vs. if you just have random science credits. As for jobs, the economy is pretty bad right now, so a...

8. Help! I want to be a nurse! But I have alot of questions!

   tas026 replied to Aransome's topic in Pre-Nursing

   1. How hard was TEAS, and what was covered? My school did not require me to take the TEAS! :yelclap: 2. How much math do you really need as a nurse? In school, I had to take a clinical mathematics course. A lot of schools just require college algebra...

9. So sad/so sweet at the same time

   tas026 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

   This is the much better alternative to what happened to my great grandmother! My great grandfather died about 12 years ago. My great gma would constantly say that she can't wait to die because she has no one to live for anymore. I think that my grand...

10. A&P 1 Lab Partners

    tas026 replied to southphilly_chic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I've been in the same boat as you! I am someone who would prefer to just do everything on my own so that I can get the grade that I personally deserve. My A&P group decided that we would all do case studies separately, and then e-mail our resul...

11. Where should I go?!

    tas026 replied to danielleshea2011's topic in Pre-Nursing

    i believe that the nclex pass rate really only half way reflects the program that you are in. you could be in an amazing school but just be getting by and then fail the nclex. likewise, you could be studying really hard, but be in a crappy school and...

12. Essay about suicide

    tas026 replied to tlc1986's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I would not write about this being a recent event. Describe it as being something that is in your past. Be truthful, but I wouldn't just out and say that it's something that happened two weeks ago. If you got help for the issue, tell them that and th...

13. Getting into nursing school. Need help!

    tas026 replied to 2bmalenurse2012's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I agree with everyone else, ADN courses can actually be MORE challenging than BSN courses because you will be learning all of the same things just in a shorter amount of time. The only real difference that you get with a BSN is a bunch of general edu...

14. Letters of Recommendation

    tas026 replied to am207's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Letters of recommendation from any medical professional really will do you wonders! Two out of three of my letters of recommendation were written by nurses. I think that schools love to see that you are already networking with other medical professio...

15. Waitlist Vent/ Frustration

    tas026 replied to SewVintage's topic in Pre-Nursing

    You know that you are a great CNA and that you will one day make a great RN! Contact the school about what you could be doing to make your chances better over everyone else. Also, some food for thought: do you really think that your co-workers will ...
