Hi TiffaniRose, My GPA was a 4.0. We had to take the NLN a few years ago and I scored in the 99th percentile. We took the TEAS after we began our semester. I know they do things differently now. I did not drop any classes but did put my applicati...

break time...thank you. I never thought about the fear in that regard. It makes a lot of sense to always have a little fear so complacency does not set in. NP-BC...I think both fields interest me. I need to decide on which to pursue. People keep tell...
Here is my dilemma that I hope you all can give me advice on. I was a nursing student, but had to take a leave of absence due to family conflict. I successfully made it through the first semester with flying colors. When it was time for me to retur...

Thank you for your response Chin Up! The funny thing is I haven't been at peace and have been struggling to make a decision. My husband suggested maybe I'm in love with the idea of nursing, not so much actually becoming a nurse. I just don't want to...

I think the only way for you to get in for the day program is if someone declines the offer, then maybe you have a shot. Is it possible for you to attend the E/W program just for the first year and then switch to day? I would think by this late date...

I lived in Florida just for a few months and absolutely loved it! I can't wait to go back again someday. The area was beautiful and the people were very friendly. The lizards are cool too!!
Is it normal for a stethoscope to hurt my ear canals so much? I am new to this as I am a nursing student. I tried changing the earbuds but that didn't seem to help much either. I can't imagine working all day like that. Anyone else have this prob...

After your suggestion of releasing the tension, I went and did just that. It definitely helped. Now they don't feel like they are jabbing at my ears as much. Thank you everyone for all your suggestions! They have all been very helpful!

I thought of that, but I can only hear with them one way. It could be because they are new and the ear tubes are still stiff. I'll figure it out eventually. In the meantime, I will practice on the family and probably drive them crazy!!
I just purchased a stethoscope on the 14th and it arrived today, (25th). I had it engraved and the engraving is a different font than what I chose. No big deal, at least it has my correct name on it. The price was better than any other site I chec...

ymaudy, You definitely need a pencil for the math portion of the TEAS. I can't imagine any school not allowing paper and pencils. That is crazy. Our school supplied both. They handed the paper out during the math section of the exam. We were not...

I also get a mental block when writing papers, even though I manage to get A's on them. I have found I come up with my best writing at night while I am laying in bed trying to go to sleep. I keep a notebook on the nightstand and whenever I think of a...

I haven't heard anything about orientation yet. It will probably be closer to summer. I finished Micro. last semester and I need to CLEP sociology this semester. Who do you have for Micro? I am planning on taking the CPR class that Bucks offers. ...
Hello all, Has anyone been to an pre-acceptance interview with Abington nursing school? I was curious to the types of questions they may ask and if it is something I can be prepared for. I am getting nervous because I want to get in to their progra...

That is great. I also received the great news of acceptance. I am in the E/W program too. I can't wait to start. I know I like to plan ahead but you have me beat. Do you live close to the school? I am in the Doylestown area. Looking forward to speaki...
