   LindseyT99 replied to Mrskeene3's topic in NP Students

   Yes, We had a "patient" they are hired people with a scenario. It isn't bad. I was nervous because everyone went in pairs, and I was the last student who did have 1-2 others in my group, but its fine, they are nice, you ask questions. Then write a re...

   Your 3 p classes are each separate. They occur at about the one-year mark of the program. I enjoyed the 3 days intensive in Phoenix, You learn skills like sutures, women's exams, prostate exams, get all your tools, etc.. You only go once, and it's 3 ...

   LindseyT99 replied to Mrskeene3's topic in NP Students

   I am currently in the program. Set to graduate in June. Overall it's what I expected. Almost all schools will be self-directed. You need to find your own clinical as well. Overall, the first year was not bad, one class at a time for eight weeks. You ...

4. Nursing specialty L&D or NICU?

   LindseyT99 replied to Heminnn's topic in General Nursing

   I work med surg and also do Labor. On our unit nurses are 1:1. L & D can be fast paced, but oft times it is also slow. When someone comes in for an induction and cervical ripening all you are doing is waiting. There can be a lot of stress in...

   I am currently enrolled. I am just finishing up my first class this week. So far so good. Enrolling was easy. First class consists of 2 discussion posts per week, one quiz and then different assignments every other week or so.

   LindseyT99 replied to Mrskeene3's topic in NP Students

   So I have been lurking and researching this topic and USU for the last 2.5 years. From what I can gather, most people who respond are happy they attended mostly due to price. Others felt they didn't get what they wanted out of the school. I realize g...

   How is payment to USU? Someone on a board posted you had to pay for the degree up front? Any advice on Utah preceptors?

10. LPN jobs in Utah?

    I have seen a lot of care centers & home health hiring. However, no hospitals allow LPN's. Good luck... I love Utah.

11. University of Utah BSN Program

    LindseyT99 replied to bsntobe3's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I went to an information seminar. It seemed the pre-reqs were similar at all the local colleges. I ended up applying to Westminister College. With the competitiveness of all the schools, I would apply to all you are within driving distance to.

    I took my teas test for the first time yesterday. I scored an overall score of 78%. My program wants above 74% but you get more points the higher your score is. It is competive, they have 30 seats and approx. 90 applicants. I spoke with office and...

    LindseyT99 replied to jewel6279's topic in TEAS

    I just took my teas yesterday. I did the book questions several times, and the app as well as did both A & B online. I didn't feel like there were any of the same questions on there, but you get a feeling for what they are looking for. I feel li...

15. What's the deal with study groups?

    LindseyT99 replied to boiledcabbage's topic in General Students

    I feel like study groups help if you are with like - minded students. When you teach something, you learn it. Sometimes someone will not understand a topic and by teaching them you can in turn better understand it yourself. Also I feel like when I...
