  1. Entrance Essay. Any suggestion please!

    See if you can find someone to edit for grammar and flow, as there are several awkward phrasing and some grammatical errors. I would be hesitant to use the hospital incident in the second paragraph,...
  2. Admissions Essay: How much should I include?

    I agree. I would think writing about your experience as the set up to your real focus, the nurses who helped you, would be good. I don't think you can really skip it if you want to be honest about...
  3. Nursing Instructor Anger Management

    I mean, delete your account if you want to, but you should be able to change your username to delete the RN. It's under Edit
  4. Should I write a memoir?

    If you want to write one because you'd enjoy doing it, then go for it. I'm not sure about it making any actual profit, just because memoirs are a bit harder to market and sell from what I've seen and...
  5. Resume Summary Help

    I wouldn't go below 11-point font (preferably 12-point font though). You don't want to do anything that will make it difficult for someone to read it. The statistic I've heard is that a recruiter...
  6. Do i have enough time

    Five weeks should be fine. Depending on your current knowledge base, you could probably just study steadily over the next few weeks, rather than like mad. You can always take a practice test (either...
  7. What are my options?

    I agree. Find nursing programs that allow multiple attempts on prereqs and retake both A&P class. You will need to get A's in them to offset your previous low grades and show improvement. This...
  8. Help!

    No. Nursing schools are going to care about your GPA, etc. The only scores they really look at are scores for tests they require (TEAS, HESI, etc), not a community college's initial assessment test....
  9. Psych Class - Too Close to Home

    I don't think you have anything to be disappointed in yourself about. It sounds like you had a human reaction to something that reminded you of a upsetting and perhaps traumatic time in your life....
  10. Nursing App HELP

    You can probably decrease your word count by making the whole essay more focused. Right now, it feels like you are trying to shove as many points and character traits as you can in the essay. And that...
  11. Accelerated BSN pre-req advice

    It all depends on average GPA of those accepted into the programs that you're looking at. What might be good for one could be too low for another. I would say that most likely, it would be better to...
  12. Yeah. I thought mine had a biology prereq at first, but I realized there wasn't. So a community college near you could easily have one without bio as a prereq. They might also have one that starts...
  13. Am I worth being a nurse?

    So you aren't able to schedule it for a later date at all? Not even at a different testing center? Two weeks isn't the best amount of time, but it's not the worst, depending on how busy you are with...
  14. Am I worth being a nurse?

    Are there no colleges around you that don't require a TEAS score for their application? If there are, the easiest option would be to focus on schools without a requirement of the TEAS. However, if...
  15. Video Interview

    It can depend. It can either be a live video interview on a program like Skype or, apparently, it can be site where you record your answers to pre-selected questions. Generally, you only get one or...
  16. Male Nurse Disgusted by Female Nurses

    Often, I have found it explicitly more easy to criticize and point out what others should be doing rather than take the time to realize why they don't or even focus on my own flaws and mistakes. It's...
  17. UNF BSN 2018

    If you're above the average from last fall (did they release info on those?), then I'm sure you'll be fine for an invitation for the interview. From there, it'll be mostly how well the interview goes,...
  18. Need Advice Please

    Just keep calm and walk yourself through it. You can always talk about loud to yourself, describing everything you are doing, so you don't lose track. If at any point, you realize you've done...
  19. Are you discerning with your "likes"?

    I forget the like button is there most of the time, so even if I like a post, I generally don't "like"
  20. question regarding Hesi and teas

    I've only taken the TEAS myself. I don't think it's necessarily difficult in the type of problems, just extensive. You have a lot of different topics that can be tested on, so your knowledge base...
  21. Late TEAS test results?

    I've read from others that there was a large volume of attempts this past week, so ATI is backed up with processing scores. According to someone else who called ATI on Friday, the system that scores...
  22. TEAS 6 EXAM

    Does the school take your most recent score or your highest score? If it's the latter, then there's no reason not to retake if you need around a 90% to be safe. If it's the former, it might depend on...
  23. Is a level of behavioral health nursing missing?

    No. I don't think that type of program would be remotely helpful. It seems the idea is that all aggressive behavior displayed by mental health clients is just some type of "misbehavior" like they are...
  24. TEAS 6 EXAM

    Look at the average scores for those accepted in the program you plan to apply to, if they have that info available. 88% is going to be competitive for a lot of
  25. Making too many notecards?

    If flashcard work for you and you find it impossible to carry around so many flashcards, consider maybe using Quizlet and making virtual flashcards. You can download the app onto your phone and will...
