  1. TEAS Retakers what was your score?

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

    wishNhopeNdreamN, I have heard that repeating the test improves scores by about 10 points. This was at an a NS information session, so they probably really see the results. I am not sure if was actual...

  2. Last minutes advice welcome!

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

    How did it go, Nervous Nursey? I thought about you several times on the 25th. I hope all went well. Fingers

  3. Paying for school

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

    Rianna, I am in the SF BA, as well. I think a lot people who live elsewhere just don't understand how expensive it is to live here (unless they live in LA, NYC, etc) or don't get how volatile the...

  4. Health - Medical documents for the nursing school

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

    There may be some variation from school to school, but you will likely need to show proof of immunization or past exposure to Hep B, measels, mumps, rubella. I know some areas also want varicella -...

  5. Paying for school

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

    I felt a little judged by your response, but I trust you meant well. You got me on the toys, but since when is a mortgage such a bad thing? First off, we have no credit card debt. Our vehicles are...

  6. Last minutes advice welcome!

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

    Good luck! I second the advice to eat and bring a high protein easy to eat snack. Since you are taking your test in the afternoon and might have time - try to get in some exercise - even if it is...

  7. Chem Spring 2008

    Hotflashn replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Two chemistry classes at the same time! Ack! Which ones? I am waiting on my results from my o-chem exam and am on pins and needles. I hope the instructor will post the grades online as he did with...

  8. Chem Spring 2008

    Hotflashn replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is ridiculously unfair. The class, as a class, should go to him about this and suggest he administer another test. Certainly he has something from previous semester. Perhaps students can choose...

  9. Dem' Bones

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

    A 3 foot tall skeleton model. He comes on a stand, but can be removed. Just big enough to have detail, but small enough not to give the kids nightmares! The Mr. Thrifty part comes from his...

  10. Dem' Bones

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

    I posted to you about maybe getting a Mr. Thrifty skeleton model on another thread. He really helped me. For a good skull tutorial, try this one:...

  11. Going back......I feel old!

    Hotflashn replied to Bennie44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Can you get a cheapo model? I got a Mr. Thrifty 3-foot plastic model off of ebay and he saved my life. It helped me to be able to see, touch, feel and play, not just visualize in 2-D on paper. I put...

  12. How mant times have you applied?

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

    I have been on a couple CA CC waitlists for a year now, with at least another year to go. Myabe two. I also applied to a lottery based CCC, and will find out in a few months. I should have applied to...

  13. Going back......I feel old!

    Hotflashn replied to Bennie44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good idea, I will have to be more creative and determined. I put my notes (and lectures as well) on audio and can listen while I work out. Though, normally exercise time is my endorphin laden...

  14. Going back......I feel old!

    Hotflashn replied to Bennie44's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are not old! Like someone else said, you are still just a baby! Your 30s are a great time for doing this. I am in my mid-40s and while there are times I feel ancient (when fellow students treat me...

  15. Admitted then Not Admitted?!?

    Hotflashn replied to Student179's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have never heard of that, but I have heard of people who were provisionally admitted but who were then not admitted because: *They failed to complete/pass IP prereqs *Failed to pass the background...

  16. Frustration is getting the best of me

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

    Good for you. Only you can decide if the flash cards help. I find that the more modes of getting info in, the better I am at retaining it. I try to write or type out notes. At least of the high points...

  17. reject letter

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

    I am sorry. I am sure the fact that you have not finished the prereqs has everything to do with not getting in. If there are people who applied that have completed everything, they ill naturally take...

  18. Chem Spring 2008

    Hotflashn replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is just like a foreign language - and one in which you can say things at least 3 or 4 different ways, but up to hundreds of different ways. So far, it is very spatial (I am not) and visual, and...

  19. Teas Test

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

    You will have to check with the individual program because the answer varies. Some programs are only interested in a minimum passing (cut-)score of some determined value. The ADNs around here are...

  20. Pre-Nursing "Support" Group

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

    Great idea. I am certainly in a wait mode and feel like I am waiting for my pregnancy test stick to change colors. I would be ok with whatever the outcome, I just have to KNOW! I have been on two CC...

  21. Chem Spring 2008

    Hotflashn replied to kristi1111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Isn't that the truth. I actually think I blocked much of it out! Like Post traumatic stress syndrome or something! It has only been a few years since I took general chem and I barely recall any of it....

  22. Frustration is getting the best of me

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

    Try not to be hard on yourself. Sometimes that first test is more about getting a groove and a sense of the instructors test style than anything else. I like to record lectures and make audio notes...

  23. Got my letter today....

    Hotflashn replied to codi1226's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is great news! Enjoy! I won't get word on any of the programs I am waiting to hear from until late May. I will be a wreck come April.

  24. Help !!! Teas test results

    Hotflashn replied to lisa-rn2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As others have mentioned, it depends on the requirements of your school. The community colleges around here (No. CA) have a minimum requirement of 67% for entrance to ADN programs. While instead of a...

  25. Should I join Phi Theta Kappa Inernational Honor Society

    Hotflashn replied to mom4jesus's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wondered the same thing. I wasn't sure what real benefits would come from joining. Since at the moment I have neither discretionary money nor time for such things, I thought it might not be worth...
