  1. I just need a little encouragement, today...

    Hotflashn replied to Mom2Chaos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hang in there and just keep living your life in the meantime. I am 45 and starting a second career and sometimes wonder why, when what I really want to do (very closely related) is my old job. There...

  2. Anatomy Ii Hints/help

    Hotflashn replied to carlarenee02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got one of those inexpensive 3 feet tall skeleton models from ebay. It helped a lot. Also, I would put labeled pictures, worksheets, notes etc, in plastic sheet protectors and seal them up with...

  3. Should I take Micro and A&P 2 in the summer?

    Hotflashn replied to RICO112's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would say that depends on you, your study habits, your other commitments, etc. You will certainly get a feel for how much time is required for A&P1, and then consider that you will have to...

  4. Chem Spring 2008

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

    So you be the friendly one! You might have to make the first move. It could just be that people are already overwhelmed or nervous. I am the oldest person in my org/bio chem class, with exception of...

  5. Chem Spring 2008

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

    I had my first Organic/Bio chem class today. I haven't even really started and already feel the dread coming. I took intermediate chem a couple summers ago - after not having chem in a zillion years....

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

    Congrats! Wow they don't give you much time to organize your life. Nothing like waiting till the last minute to let a person know! Were you on a wait list or something? Around here there is like 6...

  7. TEAS Scores

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

    I applied to the Concord campus, as well. I won't go if there is only space in Hayward. I didn't apply to any other BSN programs. I was thinking I would just do an ADN, but was encouraged by a...

    thanks. no no results yet, probably not until friday. yes, the test was like the guide, maybe easier in some respects.some questions seem almost directly out of the guide, with just a tweak. if you...

  9. TEAS Scores

  10. Please help!

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

    Better check the pay scale for EMTs. Around here it isn't that much for newly entering EMTs it ... it parallels the avg pay of the "Venti or grande?" coffee slinger. I was shocked, because they...

  11. Do higher grades determine qucker admission

    Hotflashn replied to iwillbanurse08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I suppose it depends on your program, but your GPA in its entirety is often considered. Some programs look at everything, some at the last 30 or 60 semester units. So even if courses are part of the...

  12. How Helpful was the Anatomy coloring book for you?

    Hotflashn replied to birdy88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found it helpful. I was able to snag it at my local library's book sale for a dollar, maybe only 50 cents. It had the first few pages colored, but who care for that price. I photocopied the pages...

  13. Doing pre-reqs....And being a new mom!

    Hotflashn replied to Ateal17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is hard to try to go to school with a baby, but you can do it! Like others have mentioned, try studying in chunks and do take time out to just play with your baby. It is important for both of you....

  14. Do higher grades determine qucker admission

    Hotflashn replied to iwillbanurse08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might want to check to see if you can take the math as a credit/no-credit class, depending on what classes you already have and what you still need. I will tell you though, math is going to come...

  15. Teas Test

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

    i took the teas yesterday. it wasn't so bad, though i won't get my results for a week since it was the pencil/paper version. i might change my mind! there were a couple physics and a&p questions...

  16. Teas Test

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

    No tips, just well wishes. Good luck. I'll let you know after Friday when I take mine. You have plenty of time to study and prepare, you should be

  17. How long were you on a waitlist?

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

    Can you get on multiple waitlists or apply for other programs? Around here, they encourage students to apply to 4-5 different programs and to take whatever comes up. I am lucky to live in an area with...

  18. Teas Test

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

    I am in the same boat and take the test on Friday. I have the GPA, but everything now hinges on the TEAS since they do a point system. Last year the program had over 400 eligible applicants and those...

  19. Chemisty Prerequisites

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

    LoriS gave a great response. Also, if you are struggling, get a tutor, start a study group, get to know the other students in class. Check out other resourses - study guides, DVD or video aids (I love...

  20. Chemisty Prerequisites

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

    It is great to have an online option. I didn't know it could be done. Cool. I would have gone for that had I known it was out there. Though, I actually loved going to class for anatomy and physio. I...

  21. Chemisty Prerequisites

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

    How do you do chemistry and A&P online without a lab? We had to do wide variety of experiments and dissections on human cadavers. Can't do that at

  22. College & Motherhood

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

    Isn't that the truth? I think sometimes teenagers need parents around more than little ones. Because they become so capable so quickly, it is easy to think they don't need us so much, but I think...

  23. College & Motherhood

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

    Every student, every mother, every child and every family is different and all those individuals change and grow. What works for one may not work at all for another, or may work beautifully at a...

  24. Teas Pencil vs Computer Version

    Hotflashn posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was expecting my Teas test to be on computer but found out it is the pencil/paper version. It seems like there is more chance for error (I have had a scantron mismark-down-the-line nightmare before...

  25. TEAS question

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

    How did you feel the online practice tests compared to the actual test? I found/find the book tests harder than the online practice, because the book covered so much more and had more word problems...
