Yeah, depending on which hospital I'm going to, I'm between 45 min to an hour away from my clinical site. We have to be there by 6:30 a.m., so I usually get up at like 4:30-ish and leave in time enough to get there like 15-20 min before just in case ...

If this is a nursing school that you want to get into (and you don't get into your other options), then I'd definitely retake the English course. It may be that the school itself requires you make a C in order to consider a class as satisfying a Gene...

I personally used Mometrix's TEAS secrets book and then Youtube to review the science portion a bit more in-depth than the book can go. The test is pretty much middle school/high school math (up to maybe algebra 1), high school reading, high school E...

Time management and managing your expectations are definitely major portions of preventing burnout I think. You have to make sure you are giving yourself enough time to review modules and information, study, and do the assignments while also scheduli...

I'm in a 15-month program, and we have quite a few who work part time. Though we've also had a couple people who came in working part time and quit the first semester. If you are good at time management and the job is flexible, then it's definitely d...

Personally, the main things I think would have helped me going into the program were reviewing A&P again and learning some medical prefixes, suffixes, and root words (which is helpful in figuring out medical terms that you may run into for the fi...

So you asked for a letter of recommendation from several professors, and they said no? If you have any other ones you haven't tried yet, I'd email them if you have 2-3 weeks still until the deadline. It doesn't have to be someone you know particularl...

I'd say entrance tests are fairly common, but not every program has them. One that I applied to didn't have one, but they did require several essays and a personality test. The program I'm in required the TEAS, which they weighted more than the prere...

Focus on trying to understand the underlying concepts. What exactly are you doing with the formula? What is the answer telling you specifically? What does this term actually mean? I've taken it twice now (as my first one was taken a while ago and was...

Unfortunately, it depends entirely on the program. Some programs will only take the score on the first TEAS attempt within the last so many years, some give you 2 or 3 attempts and use the best attempt, and others let you attempt as many times as you...

I honestly don't think there's actually much of a difference in the way of quality and result. You get the same degree in the end and you get the same education. Well, other than ADNs (and I'm assuming Rn to BSN programs) usually being cheaper. I'd ...

Well, first off, have you researched your university's program? Talked to current and previous nursing students? Unless your first A&P professor is part of the nursing program and has control over the atmosphere, their class isn't necessarily ind...

Are they having you rent the ebooks instead of buying them outright? Because if you are buying them, you should have access to them for at least several years. I'd honestly double check because it seems weird that the program would try to determine i...

What exactly do you meant that you feel like the material you studied and the exam questions did not correlate? Were there questions on topics that weren't at all mentioned in the chapters/lectures? Or were they just more application-based questions ...

Depends a bit on the options you have, I'd think, and if you are wanting to start with an ADN or BSN. Ultimately, the degree is the same BSN as the traditional programs, so it's not going to help with employers, etc, and you don't really learn anymo...

Assuming you're in the U.S., a second-degree program is certainly an option. A lot of places that have both types will let you apply to the second-degree program if you qualify and if you'd like to go at an accelerated pace, but all the places I appl...

Yeah, pretty much all "acceptance" into nursing programs are conditional acceptances. They are made on the assumption that you will be completing the requirements before the start of the program, including prereqs. I also haven't heard of a program m...

It's kind of hard for any of us to know without knowing the average GPA of those accepted and how applicants are ranked for acceptance, such as the weight of certain stats. For instance, in my program, the prereq GPA was less important when compared ...

Totally agree with MotoMonkey. I'm someone that likes to get a jump start on things, but it's not really necessary to try to study material beforehand for your prereqs, especially if you've taken bio classes and such in high school. I mean, my genera...

If you're generally a good student, it's certainly possible to do take both and do well. It might be a lot of info, but people have done it. Just will have to make sure you spend the time studying.

It's certainly possible. We had several people come back with negative titers for some of the vaccines they got as children. I had to redo my Hep B series and my MMR. I'd check out your program's requirements. Mine just required people to get the fi...

I'm sure you could find a cheap A&P textbook. I'd just go with whatever textbook the local community college/university uses since that's going to be cheapest for your area. Otherwise, honestly Youtube is great for reviewing A&P. Khan Academ...

It depends a bit on your strengths and the programs you are going to be applying to. Which type of science have you had previously? Which of them were you better at or know the most about already? For me (at least if I were back in time a bit after f...

I think you need to figure out if you are trying to do nursing because you have a genuine interest in it or if it's just "the thing to do." In any career, if you don't at least like the job, you are going to be miserable. Did you enjoy A&P before...

Hopefully someone will have had a similar class to answer specifically because I've never heard of a general nutrition course with a lab. I imagine it shouldn't be too difficult to do since I can't imagine you do dissections, which is what makes doin...
