I went to a nursing session on Blackboard and I was told it would count. I had to take a quiz and print it out to show that I attended when I take the TEAS. I will probably buy the study guide when I take my final in Anatomy in December. As for the midterm I would suggest going back over all the exams you have taken and study those. Does your class have the practice quizzes and tests? If it does study those, especially the matching questions. It really helped me remember those. I printed them and any powerpoints on index cards and it really helped. I got a high B on the midterm. In my class a few people did very bad on the midterm as well. The tests are so specific for closed book. Good luck :)

So far I have an A in anatomy. I still have one more lab quiz, the third exam which is open book, and the final to do. So hopefully I can keep it up :) Did you purchase the TEAS study guide from the bookstore? I haven't gotten one yet but I picked up a couple of other books at Borders to study with. I need to brush up on my math and science. I haven't done any math besides balancing my checkbook in years. It is one of the subjects that I freeze up on. I just have a natural fear of it for some reason. I took college algebra online a few years ago and got an A so I know I can do it if I apply myself

Hi everyone :) I have been a lurker of these boards for awhile but wanted to introduce myself. I am applying for Fall 2010 ASN program at Sellersburg. I am taking APHY 101 and ENGL 111 now and will take APHY 102 and psychology next semester. I haven't taken the TEAS yet and I am a little nervous to take it. My weakness is math and I haven't had a math class in forever. I wanted to wish everyone the best of luck and to see if any other Sellersburg students are on the board as well :)

That was one of the reasons I chose medical assisting but I am having second thoughts. I make almost what a MA makes now plus weekends, holidays, and I have to deal with rude people lol. So why go to school for another year for the same pay. I was given some wrong information on pay. Not that I expected to make alot but I thought it was at least $12/hour. I think the job market is getting flooded with MA's as well. I am going to a community college that offers an LPN and a RN program so I just wanted some advice. I realize nurses carry a great deal more responsibility and I don't want to make this decision lightly and only because of pay. I want to be in healthcare and help people but I am not sure if nursing is what I should do. I have heard about the burnout and difficult patients and not having enough nurses to adequately care for the patients. I know that would bother me a great deal but I also know that it could be the place they work. So I guess I wanted to know the pros and cons of the nursing profession.

I am starting my A.A.S in Medical Assisting this spring but with all the new graduates and the lack of jobs I am worried that this is a bad investment. I worry that the pay is not what I thought it would be and that there is a lack of respect for this profession. I have been thinking that I should just go ahead and get my nursing degree but I worry about the competition on getting in the school, the TEAS test (it has been awhile since I have had some science and math), trying to work while I am going, the stress, the death of a patient, burnout, and the hours. I work in retail now and I hate that I have to work every holiday and can't spend time with my family. These were the reasons I chose medical assisting instead but if the job market is bad and the money and respect aren't there then I am rethinking my decision. I don't want to spend all the money on student loans and either not get a job or get low wages when I can do that without an education. I already have an associates degree in liberal arts. My husband was in the navy and we moved ALOT and every school wanted you to take regionally accepted courses so I got frustrated and just put my courses together for the degree. But now that I am able to go back to school I also feel funny getting another associates degree. I only need Anatomy and Physiology 1 and 2 before going in any direction I decide. Any advice??
