1. RODP FNP in TN? Anyone?

   ZooCrew10 replied to ashlee81's topic in Post Graduate

   I'm very interested in learning how those of you doing an online only FNP program are managing while working. I've recently made a switch from a floor position to ICU, and while I want to start school, I need to make sure I'm feeling solid in my care...

   ZooCrew10 replied to Nikku's topic in ADN/BSN

   In the Knoxville area, new grads begin at $18-20 base. Not sure how it goes up from there. I'm finishing my first year, so I'll find out soon I suppose!

3. MSN then obtain FNP certification?

   ZooCrew10 posted a topic in NP Students

   I'm a newer nurse, received my BSN last May, have been working since June, 2014. I'm an older new nurse, 43, mom of 5 still at home (went back to school at 37, with 8 kids at home, took 5 years to reach my goal). I am a bedside RN, and know I will no...

4. feeling terrible about bad grade

   ZooCrew10 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Pre-Nursing

   if you're worried about your grades in the sciences, don't overload your schedule and focus on those classes. Most programs want A's in the science classes and rank higher if you do. I hate getting B's, but had to suck it up and take one over the fal...

5. When does your Spring Semester start and what r u taking?

   ZooCrew10 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing

   do you have a lot of kids as well, Camwill? Or am I misreading that? Just curious if you're another large family mom like myself.

6. cry for help

   ZooCrew10 replied to MS. blessed's topic in Pre-Nursing

   originally I was going for my ASN, but decided (and realized) that I only had a few extra classes to go to go for the BSN. I am taking care of those four this semester and over the summer. I have applied for ASN too mostly as a back up plan, since I'...

7. Nurse trying to scare me away from RN/Nursing in general

   ZooCrew10 replied to camci's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I think you have to have a real desire to do all the work to become a nurse. Sure, a good pay will be great. We could use the money, but honestly I began schooling because one day I want to be able to help people. One day I want to be the one catchin...

8. When does your Spring Semester start and what r u taking?

   ZooCrew10 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing

   my semester begins January 12, I'm taking a lighter load so I can pass my science! I have Intro to Chemistry and Survey of World religions, which I am taking with my husband and a study buddy from my anatomy classes.

9. biology 1?

   ZooCrew10 replied to sriffey's topic in Pre-Nursing

   it wasn't a requirement for my school here in East TN, but it was strongly suggested. As an older student without much time to waste on classes I don't need to take, I chose not to take it. I took one of the hardest instructors that offered classes, ...

10. New Student

    ZooCrew10 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I returned to school at 37, I'm now 40 (just got a general ASD) and hoping to enter a nursing program in the fall, 2012 - my goal is BSN, but if I don't muster through chem this spring, I will hopefully be in an ASN program. My comfort level was arou...

11. acceptable Kaplan nursing entrance scores?

    ZooCrew10 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I just took the Kaplan - I made the mistake of flying through it. I am not good with timed tests and always freak that I will run out....then I wind up taking considerably less time. I can't really find anything that states what an acceptable score i...

12. Kaplan Test

    ZooCrew10 replied to momofboygirltwins03's topic in Pre-Nursing

    it was hard, but not completely horrible. Math was relatively easy - fractions, basic algebra, etc. If you're an older student like myself - 40 - brush up on current grammar, punctuation, etc, because you will need it. I have typically been stronger ...
