  1. Convert pounds to kilograms, please help

    tfleuter replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    The problem with the way you did your calculation is that 17lbs 14oz does not equal 17.14. That is why your answer came out

  2. Question...what's your HONEST opinion?

    tfleuter replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    I honestly think that a manager is going to pick whomever they think is best suited for the position. If the position requires someone with a strong academic background, then the one with the better...

  3. Scheduling C-Sections for Convenience Nurses Thoughts?

    tfleuter replied to ECKPowers's topic in General Nursing

    I've never had a c-section, but I was induced for my first child and the experience was horrible. My doctor recommended it as my blood pressure kept climbing and we were worried about preclampsia....

  4. Nurse Salary vs. Teacher Salary?

    tfleuter replied to Angela.RN2B's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting, I've always heard the same thing. I've been told that the reason teacher's salaries are lower is b/c they do not work year round and have the summer off. Many pick up summer time jobs...

  5. Fresh out of highschool wanting to become a RN then CRNA.

    tfleuter replied to BrittanyLeigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't worry so much about how quickly you can get through things. I know it must feel like you are "behind" everyone else your age if you don't start college in the fall after graduation. I didn't...

  6. Convert pounds to kilograms, please help

    tfleuter replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    It's all about sig figs. Where one method starts you out with a "clean" number (14/16 = 0.875) the other starts out with a repeating decimal (17/2.2 = 7.272727272727272727272.....) Depending on...

  7. Are new grads finding jobs

    tfleuter replied to pat8585's topic in General Students

    Depends entirely on the area you live in. I have seen many posts from new grads in certain parts of the country stating they have been searching for 3-6+ months and have not yet found anything. On...

    tfleuter replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  9. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    tfleuter replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I get your point and it all sounds great in the written word on a message board, but in real life, people need to take account of their own situations and be realistic in how much "quality" education...

  10. Decided to go Medical Assistant and discouraged

    tfleuter replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    In my area, from what I can tell, Medical assistants make about the same amount as CNAs. Have you looked into any lpn/lvn programs? Won't take nearly as long, better pay and you can continue to...

  11. Decided to go Medical Assistant and discouraged

    tfleuter replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I'm a little confused by your post. Are you discouraged about obtaining a nursing degree and have decided to purse medical assisting instead? Or are you already a medical assistant and...

  12. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    tfleuter replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I'm not getting your point here. In what way does attending a prestigious school "enhance their quality of life" or make a significant difference in the opportunties that they will come across...

  13. BSN program says no to challenging NCLEX-PN

    tfleuter replied to FLAGIRL21's topic in General Students

    I agree with the others, find a BSN program that will accept you and don't worry about credits not transfering. What's done is done, only thing to do is push ahead and do what is needed to complete...

  14. How do they calculate Teas Scores.

    tfleuter replied to Murse520's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know exactly how they grade the TEAS, but I do know that somewhere in the calculation is graded agaisnt the difficulty of questions selected for your particular exam. I don't believe it...

  15. Anybody Still Waiting?

    tfleuter replied to Unique87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Deadline for the Fall at my school just ended today. It will take 8 weeks to get the letters out, which means I won't know if I'm accepted till the middle of July. Somedays I feel confident that I...

  16. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    tfleuter replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

  18. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    tfleuter replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    How do you come to the conclusion that private schools deliver education more efficiently than state universities? I have the option of applying for a well known private college but will not due to...

  19. From vet tech to lpn

    tfleuter replied to Tiffanytlc's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    No, I stopped working as soon as I started pre-reqs for nursing school. I wanted to focus on school and family (have 2 young boys). I feel very fortunate that my husband can support us on his salary...

  20. Any Utah Valley University pre-nursing students here?

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, I have the class this morning, so maybe she is talking to us today (taking it from Troy Nelson.) Troy had told us they were increasing the number of seats in the spring, but if they are changing...

  21. How do you select your Professors?

    tfleuter replied to GeekGirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would without a doubt take professor #1. Good ratings, organized, provides material to study from. Being a difficult professor isn't a bad thing, imo. They often prepare you so well that the...

  23. Any Utah Valley University pre-nursing students here?

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty certain you'll get in crazylife. The last two applicant pools the average gpa was a 3.85 and a 3.93 (at least that's what Denise told me). The average TEAS was 89 both times. Rumors have...

  24. Does this make sense (paramedic while taking RN pre-reqs)?

    tfleuter replied to MattiesMama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can only tell you what I have experienced for myself. The program I am applying for requires 10 pre-reqs total: Bio 1010 Eng 1010 Nutrition Human Development Human Anatomy Eng 2020 Microbiology...

  25. Does this make sense (paramedic while taking RN pre-reqs)?

    tfleuter replied to MattiesMama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are there any other pre-reqs you must complete before you can enroll into the above mentioned classes? For example, at my school they won't let you take Anatomy until you have taken biology. So...
