Wow. Where do I start.

Help a nursing student out please! :-) I know it's a test to see how much fluid is being retained and it's supposed to be

I can't find anything online that really explains what it is though.

Second semester student here. There's no specific brand that you need as long as it's all white. Get whatever has the most pockets and is most comfortable. As time goes on, you'll need to carry more and more stuff in those pockets.

Did anyone else get one. I'm looking to get to know some people for a study-group. All my friends got in last semester.

No. I'm in the program now. Family night: You bring one family member. They take your photo for your I.D. tag, you buy your patches for your uniform and they answer questions about the program (uniforms, classes, times, clinicals, etc.).

I know you're gonna hear a lot of info from a lot of different people about the TEAS. For me; it was a whole lot of worrying for nothing.

Show up on the first day of class!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There were only two alternates that showed up and they both left early (who knows why)....they actually had to call people to fill seats at the beginning of this semester. Can you belie...

I've been working on Saturdays only. I know a few other classmates work upwards of 36 hours still.

Usually it's an 8-2 thing...plus studying. Some days you have to be there at 730.

First quarter of first semester goes something like this.... -First 3-4 weeks, you're involved Monday through Friday. -When you start clinicals the 4th week, depending on your clinical site, it will be school m-t off wed (but you go to clinical sig...

Got my teas score this afternoon too. I did well. Now it's official!

Has anyone else recieved their TEAS scores yet? I took mine on Saturday, and they said we should be able to view them by Monday morning, I haven't seen anything yet on the website.

Read through this entire post, I detailed the points. As to your second question, the simple answer is "no". You can only apply and update once a year now at cypress.

It was mentioned at the end and it's on the paperwork you were initially sent. Sat. 8am-noon TE3-222

Go there and talk to them. It's a lottery system. However, if you're not picked after three semesters you are guaranteed a spot.

So, yes, it is a lottery. But you are right, one is guaranteed a spot after waiting 2 1/2 years.

Yes. When my study group and I took Micro at GW we were studying for 3-4 hours every night. Some girl that was sitting behind us goes, "I'm not even trying hard, GW is lottery, all I need is C's." It made us so mad. I wanna go somewhere that at l...

I don't know why but on my above post, it didn't put spaces between the number of students and percentages, anyway, I'm sure y'all be able to figure it out.

Please, Please, Please, don't pick a school based on those criteria. You want a school that will best prepare you to pass the NCLEX and be a good nurse. Both schools have a high drop out rate. I've done most of my classes at Cypress and I did Pharm...

No, it's required before you start your clinicals the the third week of the first semester.

Then you should have gotten an acceptance letter. You may want to make an appointment with a counselor to make sure all your points were accounted for.

The points at Cypress are calculated as follows: Anatomy Max of 5 points for A (3 for B, 1 for C) Physio Max of 5 points for A (3 for B, 1 for C) Micro Max of 5 points for A (3 for B, 1 for C) Plus you get an additi...

I have 28 or 29 points. Which two classes do you still have to take?

Go ask the Health Science Counselor, I'm sure she'll have the answer to both your questions. From what I've heard, in the past, a great deal of the alternates get in. People choose not to accept the spot, people drop, etc.
