  1. LPN students have to give bed bath to classmates

    Hotflashn replied to vina2550's topic in General Students

    Well, I am not sure what could really go wrong. Many women have had uncomfortable VEs, even at the "hands" of experienced practitioners. Other than that, it is really a matter of psychological...

  2. LPN students have to give bed bath to classmates

    Hotflashn replied to vina2550's topic in General Students

    If that freaks you out, don't go to midwifery school! We had to do lady partsl exams, Paps and breast exams on each other. At least since we were all women we had the same pieces and parts, and as...

  3. I'm losing my motivation!

    Hotflashn replied to FutureRN87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could have been the author of your post! O Chem is zapping me, too. And instead of digging in to try to pull myself up I am procrastinating left and right! Like reading this forum instead of...

  4. I Got Accepted!!!!

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

    Yeah for you! 1:30 am with windchills at -40? Now that is dedication! You deserve to get in just for that! Good for you,

  5. Attrition rates and NCLEX Pass rates

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

    Thanks SO much, Pepper, that is just the information I was looking for. I suspect that the new California Community College TEAS test requirement may help improve both the attrition rates and the...

  6. Any word from Samuel Merritt?

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

    Which schools in the area have lotteries? I just applied to Los Medanos - they have a lottery, I didn't know there were others. I am all for sticking my name in the hat. I am on Napa's list as well,...

  7. Go for RN or right away for BSN?

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

    I wonder about this, as well. Programs around here are really impacted and the ADN waitlists at community colleges are typically several years long after completion of the prereqs. So figure 2-3 years...

  8. Chem Spring 2008

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

    I am pretty sure I just bombed a organic chem quiz yesterday. It feels awful. I guess all we can do is just push on. I am going to have to make this class a priority in my life - which doesn't have...

  9. TEAS Scores

    Hotflashn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I am waiting for my TEAS test results (drats a 3 day weekend following my test!) I have nothing to do but obsess. In reading past posts, it seems most everyone scores in the upper 80s or low 90s...

  10. TEAS Scores

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

    Thanks so much for taking the time to reply, Jean. I have my fingers crossed. Now, if I can just get through Organic chemistry. It would be just awful to get accepted and not be able to pass this last...

  11. Teas Test

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

    I did a "TEAS" search on the allnurses.com site (at the top of the page) and read every back post that had anything to do with the test. I took note of anything anyone ever said was on their test then...

  12. Teas Test

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

    i did better on the real test than the practice test. though, i took the first practice before i had even cracked the guide and i did it as fast i could. i was worried about the time and my math. i...

  13. TEAS Scores

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

    JBRN2B, since you got accepted to two very competitive programs and one is my first choice school, I wonder if you know what the avg point base was for your class. I went to the orientation at CSUEB...

  14. I feel like I just got cold water dumped on me

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

    It is so frustrating to think you have things under control only to find out that there is more ... way more. Hang in there. Math will come up over and over and over. You will need it for chem,...

  15. Just took TEAS exam

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

    4. That is what makes it so special and versatile. It can have 4 singles, a single and a triple, 2 doubels, a double and 2

  16. Just took TEAS exam

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

    the version i took didn't have many word problems ... at least not complicated word problems with tons of extraneous information. it was more like what was in the guide. if 4 bottles of juice serve...

  17. How do you take notes?

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

    I almost always record lectures. I take pretty good (though sloppy) notes, sometimes in outline form, and sometimes in sentences with underlining. If there is an outline or copies of powerpoints, I...

  18. Math and the Teas

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

    The TEAS is just one of several different nursing (and other allied health professional) school entrance tests. It is a new requirement of California Community Colleges and of many BSN programs. Some...

  19. Math and the Teas

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

    Yes, all of those things can be on the test. I think you aren't getting the kind of specific answer as to what kind of problems to expect because when you take the test you have to swear you won't...

  20. Another TEAS freakout!!

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

    The science portion is a real bugger, because the questions are sometimes very specific about a wide range of subjects. Make sure you understand how to read the graphs in the study guide. My test had...

  21. Do you get anything out of Labs?

    Hotflashn replied to B2728's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe you just haven't had good labs? I wasn't impressed with intermediate chem lab, but my anatomy lab was excellent! I had a phenomenal professor and we had multiple fresh human cadavers pretty much...

  22. To Clep or Not to Clep ???

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

    You better check the requirements of the school(s) you are hoping to get into. Many will not accept Cleps for program prereqs and sometimes not for other classes, either. It is all up to the...

  23. How long were you on a waitlist?

    Hotflashn replied to newbeginnings07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the SF bay area. Probably the same sort of situation as you - there are plenty of schools in close geographical proximity, but the traffic can translate to a drive of HOURS. There were still...

  24. How heavily are GPA/TEAS scores weighted?

    Hotflashn replied to jelly221,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, you have a BS already and have done the nursing preqs and you are only 20 years old!? Awesome. Maybe you should consider med school. At the very least, maybe go for a second bachelors and/or an...

  25. First day of classes and I wake up with strep throat

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

    Oh, you poor you. Feel better soon. I had to take a chemistry final a couple years ago with a 100-and-something-with-Motrin fever with vomitting flu - could barley lift my head and had to have someone...
