  1. TEAS

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

    Do a search on TEAS and you will find numerous threads on what you can expect. I took it recently and used the ATI study guide and the Kaplan Nursing Entrance Exams study guide and both did a good...

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

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    I have a 3.93 gpa and got a 89 on the TEAS. I can still take th TEAS one more time, but I'm not going to. I figure if i get, i get in. If not, I'll spend the fall doing the co-reqs that are...

  3. VET Tech and RN License

    tfleuter replied to ARO82's topic in Nursing Career

    Hello! I worked as a vet tech for 2 years so I hope I can help you with a little insight. As far as schooling goes, I think that will largely depend on the state you live in. Utah, for instance,...

  4. From vet tech to lpn

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

    I know this is an older thread, but I just had to say that this was my favorite part of being a vet tech. Depending on the hospital/clinic you worked in, you get to do so many different things in a...

  5. 2 sciences together?

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

    I took chem and micro together this past spring. Did great in both of them, but the only other class I was taking was an online English course. Just depends how confident you feel towards science...

  6. Rate My Professor

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

    My husband has a very difficult time understanding accents. I had an economics professor fresh from China and everyone in the class had a difficult time understanding him. I don't usually have a...

  7. HOW GOOD IS GOOD

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

    Here is the webpage that gives the low down on the application process. You have probably already been through it, but just in case:...

  8. HELP... Chem final GAS LAWS

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

    Congrats!

  9. Can anyone help me find a school?

    tfleuter replied to Apollo85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you willing to relocate, or do you need to stay in

  10. Just looking for some feedback

    tfleuter replied to dallet6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've never applied to a waitlist, so I can't help you there, but I would think that waiting 1 more day to find out for sure when you need to be availabe shouldn't make that big of a difference for...

  11. Social sorority and nursing school.

    tfleuter replied to Prettyladie's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have to give up everything, but we DO give up a lot, or at least we should. I married at 20, had my first at 21 and my second at 25 - all by choice. I have probably missed out on a lot of...

  12. Private Colleges???

    tfleuter replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    I completely agree. I personally feel like if you have to take a class more than 3 times to get an A in it, you don't really didn't do "A" work in the first place or shown mastery in the subject....

  13. Private Colleges???

    tfleuter replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats on your acceptance! I won't know about UVU for another 2 months! I hate the wait. For anyone checking this thread out, it should be noted that UVU is going to change their application...

  14. Does Anyone Know How Students Are Chosen?

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

    You need to check with your school's advisor and/or program website to see what their criteria are. Every school is different. Some only look at GPAs and pre-entrance exams, others want you to have...

  15. Aaahhhh!!! This application process is getting to me!!! (Long)

    tfleuter posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school's application deadline is May 15th. They only look at two factors to decide on who gets in: your pre-req GPA and your TEAS composite score. The past 2 semesters the average accepted GPA...

  16. failed rn school 2x.dont want to quit so going for lpn school

    tfleuter replied to belle05's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Whether or not nursing is meant for you, I do hope you can find a better support group than what you currently have. Friends who would laugh at you b/c you have failed out of school are not really...

  17. Starting LVN Program in Three Days! NEED ADVICE

    tfleuter replied to StudentNurseButler's topic in General Students

    Not in NS yet, so I can't give any real advice, but CONGRATS on your acceptance! I think it is pretty normal to feel a little anxious after finding out you have been accepted, so don't let that get...

  18. Nursing Specialties

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

    Well I'm pretty certain I couldn't handle NICU or pediatrics. I just don't know how I would/will handle death in those so young and see the grieving parents. God bless you who can, you must be so...

  19. Aaahhhh!!! This application process is getting to me!!! (Long)

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

    Thank you! You are so right! I guess I was sucked in by how certain this girl seemed to be about her information and how her friend didn't question any of it! Maybe she was just being polite. I...

  20. Aaahhhh!!! This application process is getting to me!!! (Long)

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

    Thanks! I have definately consider the increased competitiveness aspect due to increased applicant pool, but what I don't know (and I guess no one can at this point) is by how much? In the past, the...

  21. Should I take 18 hrs in the fall?

    tfleuter replied to Shandra2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you were able to handle that, then this semester should be no problem for you! I would rather take 5 easy classes then 3 difficult

  22. HELP... Chem final GAS LAWS

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

    Ok, if I remember correctly: Follow the constants!! You will deal with 3 factors: Temp (T) Pressure (P) and Volume (V). Whatever the constant is, it will not be included in the equation, or simply...

  23. Programs with different pre-reqs, do you try to take them all??

    tfleuter replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would pick whichever program you prefer or think you have a better chance on getting into, and then focus on those pre-reqs so that you can get good, competitive grades. I'm in the same situation...

  24. Hi, I'm new and I wanted to know if I should take Chm1 & AP1 together...

    tfleuter replied to on eagles wings's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I would not take those two classes together. Not b/c other's haven't been successful in doing so, but b/c this will be your first year in college and it is a much more challenging atmosphere than...

  25. Do you think this is possible?

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

    Yes, I think it's doable if you are the type of person who can stay dedicated with your studies and not get burned out quickly. Those summer classes are going to be really busy. I would check with...
