    NurseJeanB replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello Flashn, I returned to school after working almost 21 years in a job and I know it is super scary. Wondering how you are going to pay for school, and pay for everything else. I also have a...

    NurseJeanB replied to itsinthegenes's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some community colleges allow you to test out of prereqs. You should meet with the counselor and see about testing out of those requirements. With your background you shouldn't have any problems. Best...

  7. Frustration is getting the best of me

    NurseJeanB replied to Ninja Nurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First take a deep breath. 2 chapters in 6 days is totally doable. Also it is fairly common to not do so well the first test. You are learning what kind of testing style your teacher has. Go over the...

    NurseJeanB replied to WantAccel.BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    NurseJeanB replied to Ado Annie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Then it is your time!! I saw my husband through college as well. You know being a wife and mom takes a lot out of you, but it also is wonderful preparation for being a nurse. You have to be able to...

  18. TEAS Scores

    NurseJeanB replied to Hotflashn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I love it. The program is relatively small and so you really get to know your fellow students. I know I have made some lifelong friendships here. There is a lot of work (so much to take in) and the...

  19. Teas Test

    NurseJeanB replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello Nervous, The study guide is good preparation, but it is even harder than the actual test. Now the math part is the one that gives people trouble because you won't have a lot of time. The math is...

  20. Teas Science questions

    NurseJeanB replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There was very little anatomy. I think there was maybe one question parasympathetic vs. sympathetic nervous system. There was very little chemistry. A question on atomic number and what it meant as...

    NurseJeanB replied to EeyoreAddict's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Disputing a grade?

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

    I agree with the above poster. If you have grounds then dispute it. My nursing school admission was based on GPA of prereqs and the TEAS test. I had a 3.9 GPA. So that one class would have had little...

  25. Pre-Nursing Students & Volunteer Work

    NurseJeanB replied to MelaninMonroe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
