   Hi TiffaniRose, My GPA was a 4.0. We had to take the NLN a few years ago and I scored in the 99th percentile. We took the TEAS after we began our semester. I know they do things differently now. I did not drop any classes but did put my applicati...

2. Enjoys the technical side of nursing, now what?

   datajunkette replied to datajunkette's topic in General Nursing

   break time...thank you. I never thought about the fear in that regard. It makes a lot of sense to always have a little fear so complacency does not set in. NP-BC...I think both fields interest me. I need to decide on which to pursue. People keep tell...

3. Enjoys the technical side of nursing, now what?

   datajunkette replied to datajunkette's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for your response Chin Up! The funny thing is I haven't been at peace and have been struggling to make a decision. My husband suggested maybe I'm in love with the idea of nursing, not so much actually becoming a nurse. I just don't want to...

   datajunkette posted a topic in General Nursing

   Here is my dilemma that I hope you all can give me advice on. I was a nursing student, but had to take a leave of absence due to family conflict. I successfully made it through the first semester with flying colors. When it was time for me to retur...

   I think the only way for you to get in for the day program is if someone declines the offer, then maybe you have a shot. Is it possible for you to attend the E/W program just for the first year and then switch to day? I would think by this late date...

7. Why Does Everyone Hate Florida So Much??

   datajunkette replied to natkoz82's topic in Florida

   I lived in Florida just for a few months and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to go back again someday. The area was beautiful and the people were very friendly. The lizards are cool too!!

9. Stethoscope bothering my ears

   datajunkette replied to datajunkette's topic in General Students

   After your suggestion of releasing the tension, I went and did just that. It definitely helped. Now they don't feel like they are jabbing at my ears as much. Thank you everyone for all your suggestions! They have all been very helpful!

10. Stethoscope bothering my ears

    datajunkette replied to datajunkette's topic in General Students

    I thought of that, but I can only hear with them one way. It could be because they are new and the ear tubes are still stiff. I'll figure it out eventually. In the meantime, I will practice on the family and probably drive them crazy!!

    datajunkette replied to datajunkette's topic in General Students

    My stethoscope only came with gray ear pieces, not black. If the black ones are softer then maybe I will order a pair.

12. Stethoscope bothering my ears

    datajunkette posted a topic in General Students

    Is it normal for a stethoscope to hurt my ear canals so much? I am new to this as I am a nursing student. I tried changing the earbuds but that didn't seem to help much either. I can't imagine working all day like that. Anyone else have this prob...

13. What's your take on Allheart.com?

    datajunkette replied to Linz8's topic in General Students

    I just purchased a stethoscope on the 14th and it arrived today, (25th). I had it engraved and the engraving is a different font than what I chose. No big deal, at least it has my correct name on it. The price was better than any other site I chec...

14. Studying-TEAS, taking test soon!

    datajunkette replied to katiem's topic in Pre-Nursing

    ymaudy, You definitely need a pencil for the math portion of the TEAS. I can't imagine any school not allowing paper and pencils. That is crazy. Our school supplied both. They handed the paper out during the math section of the exam. We were not...
