I am applying to this school and have just been told my 81% on the reading portion for Teas V is too low. Apparently the program is very competitive and you must score at least a 95% on that portion. Now I am upset because I have to sit through the w...

I'm really torn on this because I'm excited to have been offered a job on the spot but when asked for a offer letter I was told no and not to worry I have the job and will start orientation in a couple of weeks. The issue is I have a current job I ha...

Yes I have a start date and pay. She's already given me my hours but all that is not on a letter to me. Maybe Rehabs do things like that? She said I'll fill all paperwork day of orientation. I'm not even sure they have a full staff HR dept. I think t...

I will call and ask for either a letter or email before I tell my current employer I'm leaving. I don't think it's asking much but it was like I was asking because I did not believe I got the job. The assured me I got the position but I just don't do...

I know I'm the same way. Like I have to give notice this week to my current boss that I'm leaving. He has no clue I'm an RN now and I'm going to feel like a big liar cause I've keep this secret but you know what.,, you have to do what's best for you....

Wow I'm surprised this would be ok not to get an offer letter. How can you be sure that the job is guaranteed? What if I give notice at my current place and something happens at the LTC? I'd be out if a job too embarrassed to go back to my old job wh...

If you get an offer from Children's then just politely call the other place and explain you got a job in an area that you prefer. They should understand. Think about it this way... You start the other job and hate it and leave after 3 months that wil...

Bunkerhill Community college offers most of their classes online. I believe Quincy college offers a few classes too. Only thing is that I assume labs will have to be done in person.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking on this site for years and I have to say I love the info I get from here. First a little bit about me... I graduated in May from a ADN program and I was so relieved and basically just chilled for the summer. Biggest mis...

I took Nclex twice and failed the first time using ATI. I just took it the second time and did Kaplan and passed. Kaplan is an excellent program and the questions are so close to what you see on the Nclex. I also used the La Charity PDA book which wa...

I would not worry to much about Phatm, look them over and know suffix but honestly you will likely not see one you've studied. I had 4 math which I made sure I got right and the other meds I had no clue what they were. Passed second time with 130 que...

Sorry to hear you did not pass but don't be discouraged. I failed the first time at 265 and near passing on all sections. Just took it again this week and passed at like 130. What I did different is made sure I knew content. I studied all the systems...

Chellew what was your study plan?

My results are in and I passed! pvt does work!

I'm sorry to hear you did not pass but don't give up. Kaplan is excellent but knowing your content is key as well. Congrats on your wedding. Just relax and get back into study mode and you will pass next time.

i'm doing my associates now so i only have fundamentals, med surg, phych, and maternity/pedi but those of you who are doing bsn can chime in as well.

some of the responses had me cracking up. its true it depends on the individual every semester will not be the same for everyone. right now i'm taking med surg with psy and it is a lot of info packed into one semester. i passed my first exam but i ha...

I'm currently working in a business setting working from 9 to 5. The program I've gotten accepted to has classes 3 times a week starting at 4. I am scared to ask my boss to change my hours so I can take nursing classes since it would mean I'd be leav...

If you're doing evening be prepared to work your butt off and I would suggest getting the Fundamentals of Nursing book now and start your readings. The Evening Prof is tough but good. she knows her stuff but you have to be willing to put the time in ...

People don't stress out about getting in! I was just like you and I got into BHCC and RCC. If you have good grades and a decent Teas score than you are in! trust me. Some folks in my class now had teas scores in the 70% and they still got in. Its all...

It sure is a whole lot of work! I'm half way through my first semester and so far as long as I stay on top of my readings and pay attention in class I manage to do well on my exams. The issue is that everytime I blink there's a test or a ton of homew...

Oh don't get me wrong I'm not saying it is Naturally easy for me cause it's not. I have to study and take notes but honestly Chemistry and Biology were way harder because no matter how hard I studied I still was confused at times. I think what gives ...

where do you download the fundamentals success? I'm currently taking Fundies right now as well.

Do I still need to go back to school for my BS in nursing? I plan to eventually but I am wondering if Hospitals will still hire me with just my ADN but since I have a Bachelors they may still hire me. I live in MA and most of the hospitals here are n...

I'm attending BHCC in the fall and yes for the weekend program all prerequisites and co requisites must be completed but not for the evening program. I have people that are going to be in the evening program with me that have yet to even complete API...
