    Piper98 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    Congrats!

  2. ATI Smartprep Teas

    Piper98 replied to DigScars's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took the TEAS BEFORE taking any prereqs, and did well enough to get into nursing school. I think you will be fine!!! Just keep practicing! Good

  3. Comparing TEAS Practice Tests Vs Actual Test

    Piper98 replied to ajem27's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I thought they were very similar. I guess the actual test may have been harder, but that could have been nerves. They are set up exactly the same, and I will say the math was very similar to...

  4. Should I be more excited during clinicals?

    Piper98 posted a topic in General Students

    I am in my first semester of an ASN program. This week, I started my hospital clinical and just constantly feel nervous about everything. The one thing that I have noticed about myself compared to my...

  5. ATI Smartprep Teas

    Piper98 replied to DigScars's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I graduated with my bs in the late 90s, and just started nursing school in January. I also purchased the TEAS Smartprep, and found it very useful; especially the practice tests. I took the TEAS before...

  6. Vaccination for clinical

    Piper98 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    The only way to not get vaccinated is to run titers and prove you already have the antibodies. I chose to spend the extra money and do this for varicella, mumps, measles, and rubella, even though it...

  7. Imposter syndrome?

    Piper98 replied to Sara-no-H's topic in General Students

    Me too!!! I have decent grades, but feel like I am learning nothing!! From what I hear, this is normal. I have heard that things don’t start coming together until the 3rd

  8. Two weeks in-not sure I can do this!

    Piper98 posted a topic in General Students

    Hello, I am two weeks into my first semester of my ASN program, and I am not sure I can do this!!! I KNEW it was going to be hard, but I guess I didn’t realize how time consuming and complex it...

  9. Do I have time to take 'fun' classes when in nursing school?

    Piper98 replied to PresentPerfect's topic in General Students

    I think it would be fine if the class doesn’t have a lot of work, assignments, and/or exams. We all need a little time for ourselves. I would just make sure there isn’t a lot of work involved...

  10. Is it just me or is nursing school not as difficult as everyone makes it sound?

    Piper98 replied to Nicolecn's topic in General Students

    It’s just you. ? I think it just depends on the person. I’m only in my first semester, and have nearly lost my mind. The content is as hard as I imagined. I wouldn’t say it is necessarily harder...

  11. I failed my first attempt on TEAS

    Piper98 replied to seericap's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I purchased the package from ATI. I did well enough my first try to get into my program. I also watched all the Crash Course a&p videos, because I took it before taking a&p. If you cannot...

  12. Terrified...is this normal?

    Piper98 posted a topic in General Students

    I start nursing school in a month and a half and I am TERRIFIED. I had orientation last week, and almost walked out. I bawled during break, and just felt so anxious and out of place the entire time. I...

  13. Terrified...is this normal?

    Piper98 replied to Piper98's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the responses. A little background, I def struggle with anxiety. I have always been "high strung," but a few years ago I suffered from an extensive DVT (I could barely walk for months)...

  14. How to fight procrastination and sleeping in?

    Piper98 replied to angel0309's topic in General Students

    I am in the same situation as you. I start in January, have 3 days of 8am classes and one day of a 6:30am clinical. It may seem silly to others, but I recently read a study that there are biological...

  15. Crash Course - Hank Green

    Piper98 replied to aquakenn's topic in General Students

    Good luck! I used Crash Course to prepare for the TEAS. I took it before a & p, and I did well enough to get in to my nursing

  17. Preparing for A&P

    Piper98 replied to PursuingADream's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started with Crash Course On YouTube. It covers a lot, although not super in depth, but a great starting point. It is easy to watch, and funny,

  18. Failed A&P 1... idk what to do

    Piper98 replied to cardenas_a's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't have experience with this, but don't start A&P for another week. But I think the first question you need to answer is why you failed? What were your challenges with the course? I think...

  19. Nursing school vs. Baby?

    Piper98 replied to mld94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree. Obviously, no one can truly answer this for you; it is a personal decision between you and your hubby. With that said, I had my first when I was 28, my sister in law just had her...

  20. School a&p

    Piper98 replied to Shay01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What other criteria do they look at for admission? Can you retake A&P1? All schools are different, so it is hard to

  21. Finally took Teas!, but...

    Piper98 replied to misspy's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I would take it again. I take my first attempt on May 30, BEFORE even starting my prereqs bc I have a BS degree and only need to take 4 classes before I would be able to start nursing school, but only...
