  1. Who wants to play the waiting game with me?

    Scooter321 replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :ancong!: You'll be a before you know it! I should find out my fate within the next week or two.

  3. Who wants to play the waiting game with me?

    Scooter321 replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many CONGRATULATIONS to you! It sounds as though you have a terrific support system going for you. Have fun celebrating.

  4. Who wants to play the waiting game with me?

    Scooter321 replied to macizu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Counting the days here too, until mid March when the letters go out. I have only applied to one school (Mt. Wachusett CC in Mass), and this is my second attempt. Although I had all my pre-reqs done...

  5. Teas test i failed made a 62.4%

    Scooter321 replied to RN2bethatsme's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I completely agree. That Kaplan book contained so much more of the right type of material, and I'm sure if I had used only the ATI guide I would not have done as well.The science in particular, in my...

  6. New to site! HELP PLEASE!

    Scooter321 replied to kaiteabee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi Katie, I'm also a MWCC wannabe-RN, and I have done all of those courses. A&P I does require a lot of studying and memorization, but I don't think you will find it difficult in terms of...

  7. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    Scooter321 replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    That's fantastic, jcjcan. Many congratulations on your recent graduation AND on landing such a terrific position straight off the bat. My hat's off to you. Thanks so much for the encouragement--it...

  8. Will I be too old for nursing school?

    Scooter321 replied to nrsbetsy's topic in General Students

    I'm in pretty much the same position as Loadbetty, age and grade-wise (but without the surgical tech qualification), and that's my biggest worry too. Will my age be a barrier to getting hired? I...

  9. First day of nursing School *unleashed* post yours

    Scooter321 replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Terrific thread--thanks for starting it, Csantos. Like LiveLoveLearn, I'm not actually in NS yet and hope to start in the fall. I'm really enjoying reading your posts and hope new nursing students...

  10. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    Scooter321 replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

    My EMT instructor really knew his stuff but when it came to pronunciation--oh my! Apparently we each have a phar-NYX, not to be confused with the lar-NYX. Oh, and food makes its way through the system...

  11. Anyone use Secrets of the TEAS exam by Morrison Media?

    Scooter321 replied to FireHorseNinja's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly? I didn't think it was worth it. I'm also one to buy whatever books I can to give me an edge, but I found that one the least useful. It seems to concentrate more on test-taking strategies...

  12. Is LPN as great a job as a RN?

    Scooter321 replied to WorkingMom19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just wanted to wish the OP good luck. She's young, already has a huge amount of responsibility, and really seems to have her head screwed on straight. My daughter is 18, and while I love her to...

  13. Spring 2009 Classes

    Scooter321 replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished an EMT Basic course and am due to take the first part of the State Exam (for certification) in a couple of weeks. Gulp! I'm not sure what I will actually do with it yet. I don't think...

  14. Spring 2009 Classes

    Scooter321 replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm only going to be taking one class next semester--statistics. With all my pre-reqs and co-reqs already out of the way, I figured I would take a class that will work towards the BSN I hope to get...

  15. considering nursing school at 45 yo

    Scooter321 replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

    I'm hoping desperately that I get in next fall. I will be 52 then--almost 54 when I graduate. Do I wish I had done it earlier? Yes. Is my age going to stop me? Nope. Good luck to one and all of

  16. how many times were u rejected to nursing school

    Scooter321 replied to lunden's topic in General Nursing

    You're a baby! Seriously, I was rejected by my CC last year, and my GPA was (and still is) 4.0. I had all my pre-reqs but was still working on 2 of my co-reqs. The only student (out of about 8 that I...

  17. For you A students...

    Scooter321 replied to workintorn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, to start with I never had an instructor who scared the bejeebers out of us with promises of bloodbaths. LOL! Seriously, though, I think there were/are a variety of things that helped me. The...

  18. What has been the hardest prereq for you?

    Scooter321 replied to 2bJoshRN9788's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like you I had already taken A&P I and II before tackling micro, which I was dreading. Turns out I loved the class! I know it has a lot to do with the instructor, and ours was terrific, funny,...

  19. Font size help?

    Scooter321 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Apologies in advance for posting this question in this forum, but I wasn't allowed to post in the "Getting Started" one. Can anybody tell me how to increase the font size of my posts? Mine always seem...

  20. What's Boston like?

    Scooter321 replied to MovingRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Thanks, NurseKatie. I guess it is too early to panic. With another year to "kill" I'm about to start an EMT-B course at my CC, and I had thought that maybe I could work part-time as an ED tech...

  21. What's Boston like?

    Scooter321 replied to MovingRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You guys are scaring me silly about the job market, and it's not the first thread to mention how bad it is here in Mass. I live in a small town about 50 miles northwest of Boston and hope to start NS...

  22. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    Scooter321 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is there anybody here that either tutors students (pre-nursing) or has made use of a tutor during their pre-req classes? I had a phone call yesterday from my community college. Apparently my micro...

  23. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just thought I'd let you guys know what I decided, given the great advice you all gave about whether or not to become a tutor. It turns out it would involve five, count 'em, five trips to the school...

  24. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Great advice, everyone. Thanks. I think I'll give the school a call and find out a bit more about how the system is set up there. I do have one more question for you guys in the meantime--does...

  25. Being a tutor, good idea or not?

    Scooter321 replied to Scooter321's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for all your input so far, folks. I'm still torn. I guess a lot depends on how it works at my particular college, so perhaps I'll investigate further. At least now I have an idea of the type...
