1. I have to choose between being a nurse or mother!

   kmlnielsen replied to luvmykids0810's topic in Pre-Nursing

   second opinion. I had a hysterectomy at an early age after 3 children. It's not always so cut and dry. You might love your doctor and have a great relationship, but it's well worth getting a new opinion and perspective.

2. A&P2

   kmlnielsen replied to Nurse2b7337's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My professor told us to draw on our kids (if we had them- I have 3) with washable marker. It totally worked!!! If you don't have kids, draw a person on a paper and draw them on the paper. It makes you accountable instead of just pointing to a vess...

3. Should I go Nutritionist first then nurising?

   kmlnielsen replied to EduardoLugo's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It would not take you another 4 years to get a BSN or RN,but it would most likely take 2 more years. I have a degree in nutrition and education and I am now seeking a BSN. I have never practiced as a dietitian, but they are TOTALLY different. If y...

4. TWU Spring 2013 Applicants!

   kmlnielsen replied to ambrekai's topic in Texas

   @wen21 I'm almost certain I've been told I had to take the TEAS at at PSI center and if you you take it more than once they only consider the first score. But I've read so many things from so many schools that could have come from another school. Y...

   kmlnielsen replied to ambrekai's topic in Texas

   @cpark I don't think you are borderline. You have great stats. Your grades are amazing! Now if you got a 69 like me I would worry! :uhoh3:You have to remember the TEAS is one test on one day, GPA is spread out over a period of time and is more ind...

   kmlnielsen replied to L1zG's topic in Texas

   Yes she said was having it next Tuesday. Ok, I'll look for you on the left side :). I saw your post about the TEAS-I'm in the same boat with you. It's frustrating!

   kmlnielsen replied to L1zG's topic in Texas

   Rosa where did you sit? I was on the 4th row in the middle. I went to tutoring today. It was very beneficial. I will go back for sure. I can't make it next week, but if you can't make it you can email the tutor and she will email you a video of ...

8. TWU Spring 2013 Applicants!

   kmlnielsen replied to ambrekai's topic in Texas

   I didn't do well on the TEAS either, I got a 69.3. @shinbi89 I don't do well on standardized tests either. I ran out of time on the math portion, which killed my score. I am applying with 3.75 (not including bumps), and I have all 4 first attempt ...

9. First day of Nursing School..

   kmlnielsen replied to dsf43's topic in General Students

   This is where you evaluate:are you laughing with her or at her? She wasn't laughing at herself, she was making a proclamation, and a darn good one. You are being condescending and then trying to backtrack with "being amused." You were mean. If yo...

11. Any advice on statistics

    kmlnielsen replied to Simplytasha's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I kept a 5 subject notebook with all my work and I wrote detailed notes to myself on homework (for ex. which function I used on my calculator for that particular problem). It paid off because the tests came straight from the homework and I just had ...

12. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    kmlnielsen replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It's imperative to figure out what works for each class-do you need to read for the class or back up the lectures with go over some topics with reading the text books. Some classes you have to read the text prior to class then go back over it. Each...

13. "Over studying"

    kmlnielsen replied to britthohenbrink's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think there is a difference between busy work and actually studying. I see people doing a bunch of stuff, but not learning the material.

14. How do you do a study group?

    kmlnielsen replied to KLBatchelor's topic in General Students

    I found my study partners because they were the people who arrived extra early to class like I did. It showed we had similar schedules/habits. This is what I caution you on: 1. beware of the person who wants you just to preach/teach them all the in...

    Thanks for starting this discussion. I logged into Black board and downloaded the power points as well as the notes. I am not studying prior to the class starting though. I have 6 days to prepare for the TEAS, and then I will take a much needed 6 ...
