  1. What will you do....

    krenee replied to GottaGetIn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Call my husband first . . . then my mom . . . and definitely go out to dinner to celebrate! With dessert! Unfortunately, it's probably slim chance of my getting in for the fall because I'm still...

  2. what do I need to know about the TEAS?

    krenee replied to luckie_me's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got an 88.8 for adjusted composite score, I was happy with that . . . it's 98th percentile, so that seemed pretty good to me. If you look at the percentile rank it should give you an indicator of...

  3. what do I need to know about the TEAS?

    krenee replied to luckie_me's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, you think the stuff in the study guide is easy? You must be good at math, the word problems killed me. I thought the TEAS exam was easier than the study guide. The math word problems I had the...

  4. Taking an online class

    krenee replied to Mamakidee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I took it online (and I'm taking part 2 online now). It was hard. The problem is that I have no way of knowing whether it would've been easier in person . . . I think not, because mostly it...

  5. Taking an online class

    krenee replied to Mamakidee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've taken several online classes. Now that I'm taking my first in-person class, I realize how much I like my online classes - although that may not be a "normal" situation, frankly it's because I...

  6. How many hours do you study per day?

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Or, what's the most you've done? I study 3 hours a day for my Health Science class (A&P & Micro), and at least 30 minutes for Chemistry. Last week I had a Chemistry test, so I studied extra,...

  8. Takin' the TEAS

    krenee replied to opradiva's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad to hear you felt good about it! We got our results immediately which was awesome. I would say about the study guide - I recommend it particularly if one hasn't had algebra recently. I would've...

  9. Takin' the TEAS

    krenee replied to opradiva's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a study guide available from ATI (the same people who created the test, I believe). I also bought some downloadable guide off the internet, if you do a search for TEAS study guide you can...

  10. Takin' the TEAS

    krenee replied to opradiva's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck! I was very nervous when I took it, but I was pleasantly surprised by my score - I hope you will be too!

  11. Help To Interpret TEAS Score

    krenee replied to Heloisea3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It might depend on the school . . . I know the one I'm applying to takes the score from each of the four main areas, not the overall score at the top. And congrats, you did well!

  12. No. VA RN Salaries

    krenee replied to Anjann's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Around $40K, I think. No, I don't know for 100% certain, and I don't remember where I got that number, but that's where I'm planning to work and I have looked into it before. It's in that ballpark....

  13. Wow!! I never knew there was so much much poop involved!!

    krenee replied to CiCigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, this is news to me . . . OK, not completely, but seriously - WHY is there so much poop involved? Can MOST people in the hospital not get up and use the toilet? I figure I'll get desensitized...

  14. Advice on where to apply

    krenee replied to chikichiki17's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Well, if you hear anything, let me know, would you? Since I can't apply until May when I finish NAS 161, if you don't get in, there's no hope for me! All I was told was that they aren't full, and...

  15. Advice on where to apply

    krenee replied to chikichiki17's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Have you applied at NVCC? My understanding is that they are first come first served, not based on GPA. Anyway, a 3.0 is definitely good enough! I'm hoping to get in to NVCC for fall 2007 myself,...

  16. TEAS Exam Just taken-A man's view

    krenee replied to Jared Mazzies's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took this about two weeks ago and was very relieved! I scored 98th percentile! Some things I could've done better on - the genetics stuff, and metrics conversions. Some things I studied a lot and...

  17. Financing school

    krenee replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that's amazing. I thought our CC was low, and it's eighty-something per credit. Of course, the books are killer too, last semester they were somewhere between 6-800, I forget exactly.

  18. Financing school

    krenee replied to *Bethany*'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, same boat here . . . right down to the three kids! I am going to apply for a scholarship through our local hospital. Have you checked something like that? Most hospitals in our area offer...

  19. Frustration with "the plan"

    krenee posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So here is my plan - to finish my prereqs this spring and start nursing school in the fall, compliments of a scholarship from our local hospital. Sounds good, huh? Here are the problems I'm having!...

  20. Frustration with "the plan"

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks all! I figured at least someone could relate! I think there are two reasons it all particularly bothers me - one being that I'm not getting any younger (at 37) and we could really use the...

  21. Frustration with "the plan"

    krenee replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ah, well, I don't have that luxury since it's the same college I'm attending now! I told my dh, if nothing else, it's a good life lesson to teach our kids - don't screw around with your college...

  22. Internet Classes

    krenee replied to starzzmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken Psych 202 and Health Science I online (which is a LOT of anatomy). Psych 202 was easy. Health Science, not so much! More than half that class flunked out or withdrew. My best advice...

  23. Post here if you are done with finals!

    krenee replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats! I'll be studying for the TEAS with you . . . although I will confess that I got NO studying done the last two days . . . I've been in Christmas shopping hell since I was waiting until my...

  24. Post here if you are done with finals!

    krenee replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Post here if you are done with finals!

    krenee replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's all thrown into one class, which is why it was so intense! The only science pre-reqs for nursing at our CC is Health Science 1 & 2. Then in the nursing program they just have classes...
