  1. strange request?

    Galore replied to love2shop's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My mom had her first child in a hospital and hated the experience, so she had the rest of us at home with a midwife and family friends over to assist. I can't remember if we watched the actual birth,...

  2. Having a boyfriend while in nursing school....

    Galore replied to sheridan3456's topic in General Students

    My boyfriend (of 4 years) couldn't even handle it when I was working fulltime and taking a few prereqs at night this past year. I think when I start nursing school in a few months this relationship...

  3. Gainesville ?'s

    Galore replied to Pompom's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to college there and it's definitely a college town - great if you're in party mode, or if you're raising a family it's a nice quiet area once you get away from the university. The whole town...

  4. Accelerated BSN Programs, How Competitive Are They Really?

    Galore replied to wannabecatcher's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in FL and have applied to 4 state universities for their 2007 accelerated programs. I have a BS in Business w/ GPA of 3.66 and then I did a year's worth of pre-reqs and have a 4.0 for those. For...

  5. best self-prep materials for GRE

    Galore replied to megamiepona's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I only bought the ARCO GRE Review book, and felt like the math questions in the book were so much easier than what was on the test. I was very unpleasantly surprised on test day! To be fair, I only...

  6. Food And Nutrition Spring 2007

    Galore replied to bblair's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm also using the Understanding Nutrition, 10th ed. and taking it online. So far the teacher seems really nice (she has great reviews at ratemyprofessor.com) and although there's a chapter quiz...

  7. Books to help prepare for nursing school

    Galore replied to hs2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've read 2 books so far that are just general preparations for nursing school. The first one, Stressed Out About Nursing School by Stephanie Thibeault, is pretty generic and simplistic - if you've...

  8. teas??????

    Galore replied to gella20's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The university near me offers the TEAS once a week, you just have to sign up a few days in advance. I know here in Florida it's also offered at 2 other schools in the state. Even if you have to...

  9. Too poor to become a nurse?

    Galore replied to WannaBeNrse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is to just do it now! When I was getting my first degree, I started to question my decision to get a business degree in my junior/senior year, but growing up money had always been a concern...

  10. Entrance Exams...

    Galore replied to Cheri234's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is probably just based on the preference of each school's admissions committee. Out of 4 schools I applied to, each required a different test (TEAS, HESI and GRE) and the fourth strictly...

  11. TEAS Exam Just taken-A man's view

    Galore replied to Jared Mazzies's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you have taken any of the other nursing entrance exams, the TEAS isn't that bad. I thought the reading section was a little weird, not really what I was expecting. I'm used to SAT style reading...

  12. Has Anyone Ever Taken A 5 Week Sciene Course W/ A Lab From SJVC?!

    Galore replied to Batman24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't done that particular program, but I did take both Microbiology and A&P II with labs as 6 week summer courses. It was tough, but I got A's in all of the classes and that was while...

  13. :( Kind of a downer post...

    Galore replied to Jamie-Sue's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hear ya, but just think of the relief you'll feel soon when it's over! In the past month I've taken the HESI, GRE, and TEAS and it's very easy to get worn out on the standardized testing. You've...

  14. The Teas Test gives me butterflies!!

    Galore replied to RN,BSN84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think I did pretty well and I just used the same study guide I had for the HESI. My advice would be go through it and answer as many question as you can at first and skip any you get stuck on,...

  15. What is a lab practical?

    Galore replied to pjgarrett1388's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Usually the format for exams in labs is based on identification and labeling rather than a paper based multiple choice test. For instance, in A&P stations would be set up on each table and...

  16. The Letter....Summer 07

    Galore replied to armyvet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The GRE was required for UF - they seem to equate the accelerated BSN with a graduate program and some of the courses will carry over if you wish you to pursue a masters eventually (they seem to...

  17. The Letter....Summer 07

    Galore replied to armyvet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So far I have fully applied to FAU and USF for their accelerated BSN programs and am very anxiously waiting a response...but I have a while to go! February or March at least. Now that I'm done with...

  18. Class with labs during pregnancy?

    Galore replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My lab partner in chemistry was pregnant and was fine to take the class. The teacher suggested that she take the syllabus to her doctor and get it cleared first, but usually in general chemistry...

  19. Anyone in Ft Lauderdale?

    Galore replied to Thedreamer's topic in Florida Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet (currently sending out applications for accelerated BSN programs), but I'm in the Broward area

  20. Anybody attend UF accelerated?

    Galore replied to HARRN2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I would assume all university staff is out this week because of the holidays. I'll try to email/call just in case

  21. Anybody attend UF accelerated?

    Galore replied to HARRN2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    That's the thing, every school I'm applying to has a different entrance test. There's a spot to take it on January 2nd, and I figure if it's 10-15 days to report the scores, it's tight but UF asks...

  22. Anybody attend UF accelerated?

    Galore replied to HARRN2b's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got my BS in Business at UF a few years ago and loved it. Not sure about the accelerated program specifically but UF in general is pretty solid all around and they seem to have the strictest...

  23. Nova, Fgcu, Fau, Usf, and Um...

    Galore replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Oh, okay...you had me excited there for a minute! Most of the info I have from FAU says they will contact you in March, but at the information session the lady said maybe February, definitely by...

  24. Nova, Fgcu, Fau, Usf, and Um...

    Galore replied to Renee4christ's topic in Florida Nursing

    Yes, I'm playing the waiting game too. FAU is my first choice and I also have my application completed for USF. I want to apply to UCF and UF also just in case, but found out I only have 2 weeks to...

  25. Money for School

    Galore replied to JUBSN's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you don't mind me asking, do you know what the income cutoff is? I make an average annual income right now working fulltime (no kids), but I plan to quit and not work at all if I get into an...
