  1. What are your study habits?

    tfleuter replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a 4yr old and a 5 month old, so I can definately relate to the whole distraction aspect. In fact, I really can't focus that well at home, but that is where I must do the majority of my...

  2. Accelerated BSN programs in the Milwaukee/Madison area?

    tfleuter posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello! I'm posting for a friend who lives in Waukesha and currently looking for an accelerated BSN program. She already has her bacherlor's (in pyschology I believe) but unfortunately has a low gpa...

  3. why did you decide this career field?

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

    I started out in customer service and then made a jump to vet tech b/c I found a real passion for animals; owning, training, care of, ect. While I enjoyed being a vet tech, I was quite frustrated by...

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

    If you have a blood donation/plasma center nearby, maybe stop by and ask those who work there were they did the

  5. Advice Please

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

    I took my 2nd English writing class online (Intermediate Writing; Science & Technology) and it was the best decision I could have made! Was fairly easy to log on and keep up with assignments,...

  6. I need advice. PLEASE ANY INPUT!!!

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

    I believe so. From what I've been told, for my school, you are in clinicals the whole time, whether BSN or ADN. Not sure what those extra clinicals are

  7. I need advice. PLEASE ANY INPUT!!!

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

    Sorry, what I meant is that you will be in school at least a year longer IF you do adn and then bridge to rn after. I'm only basing this off of the few bridge programs I have looked into in my area....

  8. I need advice. PLEASE ANY INPUT!!!

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

    I guess we posted at the same time! What you will need to do is find the different bridge programs in your area and see what their pre-reqs look like and what classes are offered once started. I've...

  9. I need advice. PLEASE ANY INPUT!!!

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

    If you don't think you have a very good shot at the BSN program w/out retaking classes, then I would suggest going for the associates (which you can start sooner and likely get into the first time...

  10. Respiratory Therapist Programs in UT

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! It's funny that you should mention IHC Univ b/c I just went to an information session at UVU regarding this program. I was curious myself and plan to pass the info to my

  11. Accelerated BSN programs in the Milwaukee/Madison area?

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks! That sounds like it might be a good option for her too. A little pricey, especially for a single mom, but where there's a will, there's a way I suppose. I'll pass this info on to her

  12. Summer A&P...

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

    I'm taking physiology the first block of the summer (only time it is offered) and then anatomy during the second block. Each is 7.5 weeks long so I'm sure it will make for a busy summer, but I'm ok...

  13. A&P Coloring Book Suggestions

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

    I bought Netter's Anatomy Coloring Book from Barnes & Noble for $20 and though I haven't opened it yet (shrink wrapped) I think it will be a useful tool. The pictures, for a lack of a better...

  14. Is it worth going to school to be an LPN?

    tfleuter replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    So with the lpn-rn route you will gradaute with an ADN in May of 2012, but if you waited to re-enter the diploma program in October, how many more semesters would it take to graduate from there?...

  15. From Nursing to Dentistry (DDS)

    tfleuter replied to TurismoDreamin's topic in General Nursing

    From the very few social workers I know, pay is pretty low and burn out is very high. It seems to me if you have an honest to goodness passion for it, you might consider it, but anything less...forget...

  16. Starting NS in Fall have some questions about pre-reqs!

    tfleuter replied to Molly08's topic in General Students

    Well, it really depends on the individual, I would think. I've been through a program (not for nursing) that had a similar set up; classes were 9 or 10 weeks long, a student could sign up for 1 or 5...

  17. Which program should I go into?? Need opinions please!

    tfleuter replied to kayty2339's topic in General Students

    Do you know what the schedule will be like for all 5 semesters of school #2? Wouldn't want to go through a semester or two, only to find out three, four and five are incompatible with daycares and...

  19. anatomy vs. physiology

    tfleuter replied to ilynurses's topic in General Students

    I am taking anatomy and physiology during the summer as well. Physiology is offered in the first block, anatomy is offered in the second, so I have no choice in the matter. If I were to follow the...

  20. Need advice about the TEAS

    tfleuter replied to happymommy11707's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have not heard from anyone that the TEAS is anymore difficult than any other entrance exam, but I can't say for sure since I have not taken any other test besides the TEAS. If your school only...

  21. TEAS Exam

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

    Check with your school for clarification on when to take the TEAS and what a passing score is. Every school is different. Mine has you take the TEAS only during the application period and you can...

  23. Accelerated BSN program or traditional?

    tfleuter replied to Chrissylgg's topic in General Students

    Are student loans an option? And if after doing the math, do they put you out ahead? I guess what I mean is, does the minimal amount of loans needed to survive w/out a job equal less than 1 year's...

    tfleuter replied to 49*1's topic in General Students

    In that case, I would probably recommend a change in schools, not

  25. Need Help! What do I choose, Respiratory Therapist or Registered Nurse

    tfleuter replied to 49*1's topic in General Students

    As far as pay goes, I'm guessing that's going to vary on what part of the country you live in. You say nurses average 70k, but in my state, I've been told it's more like 50-60K. The same is true for...
