Whoa! Mooremds, you just described my schedule/life, lol. I really enjoy working nights, but the home and sleep schedule are CRA-ZY! Hope it gets better!

I graduated in late May and didn't take it until mid-July. I waited for 2 reasons: 1- they didn't have an earlier spot when I scheduled it and 2 - I didn't take any review so I just studied off the Kaplan book I got from Barnes and Noble so I gave myself a LITTLE more time to study it and do questions. I passed the NCLEX the first time with the minimum amount of questions. Thank goodness because I delivered my little girl a week or two later, lol!!

I just got the nurse pro pak (large). I looooove it!! It keeps my stuff well organized and I don't loose stuff.

AZNplay I'm so very glad you're ok in Houston. I'm worried sick over my sister and bestfriend over there so its good to hear good news. Good luck with your studies!!

I believe the average score for the TEAS was an 85. In my group the highest score was a 89. No they don't group you my gpa. It's random.

The test includes conversions, ratios, multiplications, division, simple algebra. All the math on the test was on the Kaplan. I even think some of the math in the Kaplan was harder. As far as science the Kaplan does a good job but it did have a geology question that I remembered from like the 5th grade - yeah it was weird, and I heard the Kaplan and TEAS study guide were about the same in science. It does have chemistry like mass number, atomic weight. I think the Kaplan was enough for me, but I also only had 5 days to study. I made an 84 and I guess that was enough. :wink2: It was exactly 1 month after my interview that I got my acceptance letter in the mail. The classes are big 120-130 students but the teachers are all great and the big classes aren't an issue at all. For labs and clinicals you break up into smaller groups.

Sorry I forgot to mention about the interview. Everyone is extremely nice and all they really ask is why you chose nursing, how you study, and how u manage your time.

Hi I just started NS this fall. When I got my interview letter it was too late to order the ATI study book, so I ended up going to Borders and studying Kaplan's NET study guide. I focused a lot on the math because it was my weak point and I did fine. Just let me know if you guys have any more questions. I know I was really nervous before the test but afterwards I realized it wasn't that bad.

I think...... and only think, that it may be in the medical school building and if so do we take the shuttle there or do we first go to the nursing school

Hi guys does anyone know where the Parman Auditorium is located for orientation tomorrow??

dream2b I sent you a pm cause it has a password

:typingHey guys check ERES, they posted our clinical schedules! Oh, and is the parking pass $94? Is anyone going to the heart to heart orientation?

What!? The parking permit was $94? whoa! Did I read wrong? I finally got half of my books, but i'm ordering a couple off the internet, which will be a good savings. I can't believe how expensive books are.

:eek:I know pixiedrink!!! I'm kind of anxious but then I freak out. No I haven't had a chance to even get my books. Well its more that I'm waiting for my next paycheck. Have you at least bought your books? If so, how much did it come out to? Thanks!!:stdnrsrck:

I would try calling for a price at HealthCheckUSA.com. That's where I got my titer for varicella for $45. First call cause I think their prices change from time to time. I liked it cause I didn't need a doctor"s order, you just walk in and ask for the test.
