1. Anyone else take the long road to your RN?

   tamsue replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in New Hampshire

   I'm in the second semester at NHCTC-Stratham. I certainly won't say it's easy, but it IS do-able. Some of the people I'm in school with are also holding down part- or even full-time jobs, and I really don't know how they're managing that. I just s...

2. Anyone else take the long road to your RN?

   tamsue replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in New Hampshire

   Hi there. I have to say the CLEP test for Human Growth was kinda' crazy. I feel like the book I had to study with was almost useless. Most of the info on the test wasn't even in the book. The test did have some Erickson stage stuff and some Behavi...

3. Anyone else take the long road to your RN?

   tamsue replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in New Hampshire

   Hi there. I used the REA Human Growth and Development book for the CLEP. I'll give it to you for free if you want. It's got the book w/ the software. I took the test in Jan. of this year. To be honest, the book didn't really help me prepare for ...

4. Anyone else take the long road to your RN?

   tamsue replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in New Hampshire

   I started very slow as well. I started by taking my A&P I, then II (at which point I also take college algebra), and then onto Micro. I'm in my second semester at NHCTC-Stratham, and I really feel like nursing is the right road for me to be on....

5. Anyone waiting on NHCTC Stratham?

   tamsue replied to Talulah117's topic in New Hampshire

   I did get into Stratham right away. I only found out late last week. I really don't know if anyone has posted anything about whether Stratham or Manchester is better than the other. I've ruled out Concord, since it's just too far. Good luck to yo...

6. Anyone waiting on NHCTC Stratham?

   tamsue replied to Talulah117's topic in New Hampshire

   Hello Everyone! It sounds like many of us are in the same boat. I've been accepted to Concord, Stratham, and Manchester. Where is the best place to go? From anyone who is already in the program, have you heard anything good or bad about any of the...

7. Anyone hear from NHCTC-Manchester yet??

   tamsue replied to roxxy3773's topic in New Hampshire

   I just heard from Manchester today. I got in!!! Good luck to everyone else!!!

8. Applying to community college with a BA in Psych

   tamsue replied to Jasel's topic in General Students

   Hi there. I was in the same boat as you, pretty much. My actual degree is in liberal arts, but most of my courses were psych/sociology oriented. When I started talking to nursing schools, I seemed to me that having another degree really didn't mean ...

9. NHCTC-Manchester / questions on NLN test

   tamsue replied to tamsue's topic in New Hampshire

   Actually I did get my scores. I did better than I thought I did. This gives hope to everyone else who REALLY THOUGHT THEY BOMBED!!! I literally came home from the test and sobbed. It turned out I did pretty good. I think the thing that must hav...

10. So NERVOUS!

    tamsue replied to Jamie-Sue's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey there, Jamie Sue! I just got my results back yesterday. I did so much better than I thought I had done....go figure!!! I'm glad to see that you passed as well. So, hopefully we'll both be nursing students in Fall of 07...what a long road i...

11. NHCTC-Manchester / questions on NLN test

    tamsue replied to tamsue's topic in New Hampshire

    Hello Again. Sorry for the confusion. A "math wiz" who sat beside me during the test said that, if you looked at the possible answers to the math questions, there would most times be only two "possibly correct" ones. He said that, instead of actua...

12. NHCTC-Manchester / questions on NLN test

    tamsue replied to tamsue's topic in New Hampshire

    Hi there. I took the test on Jan. 13. I thought the Math was terrible; I don't feel I did well. You can't have a calculator, and there are 54 questions in 60 minutes. You have to be very quick; I'm good at Math, but I didn't even have time to fi...

13. NHCTC-Manchester / questions on NLN test

    tamsue replied to tamsue's topic in New Hampshire

    Hello there. You responded to a question I had in the past re: the NLN. I'm taking the test this Saturday, and I AM FREAKING OUT! I've got one pretty stupid question, can you have a calculator with you when taking the test? I'm taking it at Man...

14. Nln

    tamsue replied to Jamie-Sue's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hi JamieSue, I'm in exactly the same boat as you. I take the NLN on 1/13. I'm extremely nervous, mainly because I guess they change the test each time. I know I'm VERY weak in Chemistry and physics. I got A's and B's in A&P I and II, and f...

15. A&P II Club! Come on in!

    tamsue replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Does anyone else find A&PII to be much worse (harder!) than A&P I? We started with the Endocrine system, which I found to be SO hard, and now we've moved into the Heart and Circulatory System. Is it just me; am I dumber this Fall than I was...
