I wouldn't recommend it. Better to take it in the summer.

Nursing school is one test after another. To get your license, you have to take a standardized test. Saying you're a bad test taker won't cut it. You need to figure out a way to succeed despite your test anxiety. There are countless resources availab...

If you're too worried about it, you can carry glucose tablets in your pocket. I've always been able to bring a protein bar to clinical though, so I assume you will get a snack break.

My mentor gave me some excellent advice that I feel is applicable to your question. If you understand the patho and the action of the drugs really well, you won't need to memorize laundry lists of symptoms. That has served me well and I don't see it ...

Emory will look at the TEAS score if you wish to include it to strengthen your application.

We are REQUIRED to have a smartphone with nursing software loaded onto it for use during clinical. It has everything from labs to medications to NANDA diagnoses, a medical dictionary, and loads of other features. Sure, we could learn in clinical with...

You can put as much or as little as you like on the resume, according to admissions. Volunteer work, awards or academic achievement, leadership and work experience, or anything else related that will aid them in their decision.

Anyone taking their pre-reqs at Georgia Gwinnett College? If so, how is it? Considering transferring there after continued lack of administrative organization at GPC. Any insight from current or former GGC students is appreciated! :)

One C isn't going to kill you. I applied to and got in to emory, GSU, and mercer. Happy to answer any questions you might have. And the emory amazing financial aid myth is just that. (This is coming from someone with a 0 EFC and 4.0 math/science GPA)

Haha not even close. A&P I was one of the easiest of the prereq classes. If you think that's hard wait til you get to patho and pharm. BTW, the people who are failing exams in these classes are the ones who are weak in their A&P knowledge. So...

I agree with you, I think doing practice questions is key. Classmates thought I was stupid for doing them, but I got an A on the exam and they barely passed. For anyone struggling in fundamentals, I would recommend doing practice nclex style question...

Look up practice problems/quizzes for categorical syllogisms. That's pretty much all the exam consists of :)

I am in pretty much the same position. The first week was awful and made me question everything, and even though it seems like the workload has gotten worse, the culture shock has worn off and I'm able to handle it a bit more. My class was the same w...

The critical thinking exam is a reasoning and logic test. It tests your ability to think critically and requires application of facts. The TEAS is 100% knowledge based. It tests science, math, English, and reading. They aren't similar at all despite ...

Second degree students don't get as much aid, but unless she's married, she should qualify as a dependent student and will be eligible for more of the institutional grants and scholarships. If you're an independent student though (according to Emory'...

Thank you for the advice! I'm having a tough go of it as of late, even though I am acing my exams. I think I'm not handling the stress well, and am hoping it gets better

I thought I was getting into the swing of things, and my load has definitely lightened up compared to the first 2 weeks. But now that I realize I have 4 exams and a skills validations in a 2 week period, I'm kind of freaking out again

I don't do all of the reading - it's just an insurmountable task for me. I only use the book to clarify information I am unclear on, to look over tables/diagrams, and to answer the chapter questions for test prep. If there is a chapter or topic I am ...

How old is she? How much aid she can get depends on that.

I use an Erin Condren life planner and I love it. I'm someone who needs color to focus my attention, and I love the layout of it. The fact that the covers are interchangeable are a plus! I have pics of how I use it for nursing school on my Instagram ...

I feel like the first week is the hardest. I'm in my 3rd week now and it's gotten a bit better. Just hang in there and take one day at a time. Don't kill yourself trying to do everything because you just can't. Take some time for yourself even if it'...

I wouldn't stress too much about not taking any of your core at Gordon. I didn't, and got accepted on the first try.

I'm on my second week of a BSN program, and I have to say, the first week was definitely the hardest. About 3 days into it, I was so overwhelmed and stressed out. Just keep taking deep breaths, and know that it gets better!
