  1. TEAS V hard?

    idkmybffjill replied to lauraline's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    This post is from 2013 and is actually regarding the previous version of the test (ATI is now on version VI). You will get a score for each section--reading, English, science, and math--and then one...

  2. Should I get a bachelor's before BSN?

    idkmybffjill replied to awomul's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If your ultimate goal is nursing, I don't see much of a point in getting another degree and then going to an ABSN program. Plus, some ABSN programs are more like 13-15 months, so if you apply to...

  3. Teas study guide

    idkmybffjill replied to Bcosta's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I liked the Mometrix's TEAS secrets study guide. However, if you aren't taking any A&P classes before you take the test, then you're going to need to go more in depth than any TEAS study guide is...

  4. How do I work study and be a mom full time

    idkmybffjill replied to billiepw's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it would be possible to do all that and succeed in the program. I've only heard people working per diem or part time during an ABSN. Though even part time might be difficult in some....

  5. volunteering for nursing application

    idkmybffjill replied to sanmo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can look at local hospitals. Some will have extensive volunteer programs and even let you transport residents or be sitters, etc. however, all of the ones I looked at required you promise you'd...

  6. UNF BSN 2018

    idkmybffjill replied to idkmybffjill's topic in Florida Nursing

    Keep in mind that we had over 500 apps (or around that much, I can't remember) in the summer but only 300 or so were completed or had the minimum TEAS/GPA to be considered. So while there might be 379...

  7. First Nursing/Medical Job Choices

    idkmybffjill replied to futuremidwife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd probably go with CNA/PCT. It will give you some patient care experience and help you with some of the same general skills I imagine you need for nursing (communication with families and patients,...

  8. Nursing Application Essay Help

    idkmybffjill replied to Michodell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are currently attending a college and it has a writing lab (or a writing tutor), I'd recommend taking it there for a grammar check. I see several grammatical errors (a few sentence fragments,...

  9. General Studies vs. ASN/ADN

    idkmybffjill replied to theebree15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To clarify, are you trying to get your ADN and then do an online RN to BSN program or are you wanting to get an associate's degree and then go to a 2-year BSN program? Because if you just want to go...

  10. HELP! TEAS Exam next Monday!

    idkmybffjill replied to gcastro5's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I agree that buying the practice tests from ATI would definitely help you since you have a short amount of time to prepare. It'll give you a good idea where you are at and what your weak spots are....

  11. Medical Insurance

    idkmybffjill replied to ashley_bird's topic in General Students

    The only real options I found have been buying through the marketplace, buying insurance through the insurance companies themselves, or getting a plan through the university/college you are attending...

  12. Are student loans worth it???

    idkmybffjill replied to Wildflowerlover's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With my first degree, I wanted to get out of my area too and be out on my own. I went to a smaller state university and I really enjoyed it. I think it helped me to grow and become more independent....

  13. Financial and Career Guidance Needed

    idkmybffjill replied to Atelophobia's topic in General Students

    I personally would not take out 60k in loans. An ADN might take you just as long, but it's significantly cheaper and will give you the ability to be independent once you graduate without loan payments...

  14. Prospective Student at SJSU

    idkmybffjill replied to yukinarin's topic in School, College Programs

    I recommend making an appointment at the advising center. The advisors are going to be able to tell you specifics for their college. If the course for the honors program is the same course (course...

  15. Admission Essay

    idkmybffjill replied to Bartonite2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would do just that. If you have extra words or if it isn't too long, you can also add other traits that you have to show you have the most necessary traits and

  16. How are people surviving financially while in a full-time ABSN program?

    idkmybffjill replied to Vandrews's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There isn't a lot of funding for second bachelor's degrees in general. There are probably some general nursing scholarships out there that you can apply for, which would help with some of the cost...

  17. Low Pre-Req GPA, wanting to apply to ABSN programs

    idkmybffjill replied to jbek86853's topic in General Nursing

    There might be someone here familiar with those programs but the best option is to call up the programs and ask the average overall and prereqs GPA of those accepted. That should give you an idea of...

  18. CNA while doing prereqs? Worth it?

    idkmybffjill replied to taurnxkd's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you can find a higher paying job in healthcare, I say go for that instead. I personally wouldn't spend a bunch of time and money for a cert that gets me a job that pays less money than what I could...

  19. Is it even possible to NOT work during nursing school?

    idkmybffjill replied to djksjdalksjf's topic in General Students

    There are loads of students who chose not to work. I imagine for many, they are able to do so because they have few expenses and have financial aid, loans, financial help from family, or any combo of...

  20. A & P 2

    idkmybffjill replied to rssouza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd suggest figuring out what type of learner you are. Specifically, do you learn best when you write down the information, when you when you create visuals or see a video, when you hear it being said...

  21. Nursing school admissions!

    idkmybffjill replied to Jonkunne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm a bit confused about your numbers. Programs go by your overall GPA, which is the GPA for every single class you've taken. So that would include the 10 business classes (so if you take 11 classes...

  22. A&P 2 Disaster!!!!

    idkmybffjill replied to jasj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you did okay with the curve, you should see if you are able to stick with it, especially since a summer course will be condensed and thus a bit harder. Stop relying on the professor to learn the...

  23. A & P 2

    idkmybffjill replied to rssouza's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, you want to see the highest possible grade you can get at this point and figure out what type of grades you'll need going forward to get a good grade. You're going to want to try to get at...

  24. What should I take in this order??

    idkmybffjill replied to 007KPMED's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless you have the time and money to spare, I don't think it's necessary. You can easily instead do some review yourself before you take A&P2. There's Crash Course A&P on youtube that's good...

  25. What should I take in this order??

    idkmybffjill replied to 007KPMED's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd probably do Chem 1 and then Chem 2 and do whichever of A&P2 or Micro works best with my schedule that semester. If you've recently took A&P1, I might take A&P 2 third just so it's not...
