  1. Best way to prepare for A&P?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to VictoriaxB's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi VictoriaxB, I am a big planner myself (I have literally been a wedding planner for almost 11 years now). For me personally, I did not attempt to learn the material ahead of time because, like you...

  3. Summer 2017 Chat

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you Jen for your words of encouragement! I will definitely keep putting my best foot forward and hopefully, one way or the other, my professor will recognize my efforts. Congrats on almost...

  4. Summer 2017 Chat

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ItsThatJenGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am now about a week into my six week online psychology course (human growth and development). So far, I am doing well and possibly going above and beyond what is required. My course has had people...

  5. Should I pay for the TEAS 6 practice test?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to imblest11's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I have not taken the TEAS yet, but from my friends who have taken it and from what I have found on this site, I believe that the questions in the ATI book were comparable to the actual exam. One of my...

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to SunshineNRainbows's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Hopefully your study techniques will continue to benefit you as you move through the remainder of your courses. Keep up the hard

  7. Mental Anguish about Acceptance into NS

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to AspiringNurse86's topic in General Students

    While I have not had any personal experience with this, I know that it is a common thing to do at my school's nursing program. Students who are waitlisted are encouraged to still attend orientation...

  8. Deciding between nursing school and pre-med and medical school?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to renae0404's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I spent the first 1.5 out of two years at my school as a Biochemistry and Philosophy double major with a pre-med emphasis. Even though I worked hard and maintained a 4.0 throughout my courses...

  9. Working full-time while going to school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to anime5an4lyfe's topic in General Students

    I think that if you are able to work hard and show improvement with your grades then you'll get to where you want to go. To be honest, I don't know if LPNs/LVNs work in the pediatric unit, but it is...

  10. Pharm flash cards

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to nanillest's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're welcome ariana! Glad I could help

  12. Working full-time while going to school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to anime5an4lyfe's topic in General Students

    I am glad I could help! You'll just have to weigh your options and see what works best. I wish my state would pass something like that haha! In all honesty, I would not have done well if I had tried...

  13. Working full-time while going to school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to anime5an4lyfe's topic in General Students

    I would recommend talking to a nursing advisor or the person who evaluates the applications and determines to get in. At your current school, you would have to figure out how the application process...

  14. Starting Over at 25

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Paula378's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I decided to "start over" at 25 as well. I have done wedding and event planning for over a decade now and decided to pursue higher education after I had someone die in my arms. For someone who prides...

  15. If you've retaken the ATI teas, did you score higher?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Bestnurse94's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I have not taken the TEAS myself, but I have had friends do a retake. I had one friend score in the 60s and was able to pull up their score to the high 70s or low 80s by getting a tutor and focusing...

  16. Working full-time while going to school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to anime5an4lyfe's topic in General Students

    I can definitely understand the desire to not take out loans! I think you can definitely manage your time wisely as long as you plan out each day/week and remind yourself why you want to pursue...

  17. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    Hi Ariana, I would recommend getting into contact with the Nursing Enrollment & Evaluations Specialist either by phone or by e-mail. I know the CPR card requirement should be fulfilled fairly...

  18. Working full-time while going to school

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to anime5an4lyfe's topic in General Students

    I work full-time (finishing up my prerequisites), but I have had many professors tell the class that working once we get accepted into the program may not be an option. We have been advised to plan...

  19. No luck with work experience

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to RSP.SN's topic in General Students

    Something you may also be able to look into is becoming a medical scribe. I am not an expert on this and I am not sure if this is an option in your state. I would not say that you are behind because...

  20. Riverside City College: Spring 2018

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ChristinaR's topic in School, College Programs

    I had done a mock points evaluation when my friend applied last semester. I would have 4 more points before taking the TEAS with the old system. After the TEAS, the gap would widen more. It appears...

  21. TEAS: School limits your attempts?

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Jhotmail's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ATI does not automatically send your test scores to your school. There are some schools that invite their top applicants to take the TEAS at that particular school effectively eliminating the need for...

  22. Pre-req's: A & P I and II classes

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Merry1517's topic in General Students

  23. TEAS test

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to Nydiab's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    While I am unable to assist you with ECPI related questions, I would suggest that you speak with a nursing advisor at the school you are looking at. They would be the best people to determine whether...

  24. Flunked first semester of college, but doing much better now.

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ipunchtrees's topic in General Students

    I would advise you to check with the school or schools you plan to apply to. Every program has different acceptance criteria. Some are a lottery (like brownbook said), others will accept only the...

  25. Hep A vaccine required

    xxstarrynitesxx replied to ladyapj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check with your PCP if at all possible. He or she may be able to give you more information. I have a friend right now going through a similar situation. As I have about a year before I would start my...
