  1. Night time munching...

    tfleuter replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    Back when I was working as a vet tech I used to do the night shift at an emergency clinic on the weekends. It was much how you desribed, sometimes things were really slow and other times we were all...

  2. Anyone with a hotmail account?

    tfleuter posted a topic in General Students

    Is anyone having difficulty with their hotmail account? I keep trying to log in to mine and it automatically goes to windows live. From there I'm told I don't have an inbox and need to sign up for...

  3. Anyone with a hotmail account?

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    Wheewww....Ok that makes me feel a little better. I thought my computer had picked up a virus or

  4. What was your Undergraduate Major?

    tfleuter replied to reformedlibrarian's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Does seem like a good way to do it! How crazy was her schedule working in an ICU while getting her

  5. I'm such a horrible wife!!!

    tfleuter replied to amd75's topic in General Students

    Try not to beat yourself up. Do try to see if there is someway to show that your anniversary is important and that you want to celebrate it as well. We just had our 5th anniversary this past January...

  6. Chemistry is KILLING me =(

    tfleuter replied to jnguyen115's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    All depends on your program. Mine you don't have a chance w/out at least a B+, and even then the rest of your pre-reqs better be A's, not A-, but straight A's. I'm doing really well in chemistry...

  7. I'M ****** OFF!!!!!!

    tfleuter replied to ccjus123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, but you are really reachind here in order to prove your point. First, there is NO fool proof way to weeding out those who wont be good nurses, but i don't think anyone can argue that pre-req...

  8. 20% Pass Rate

    tfleuter replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    My school bases acceptance upon pre-req GPA and the TEAS. Both of these scores are fairly competitive and definately weeds out mediocre students and poor test takers. Not that these students won't...

  9. 20% Pass Rate

    tfleuter replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    Now if some governing body would look into this, it's an easy fix for both the school and the students. Up the gpa requirement to 3.0. Truth is, if you can't possibly make at least a B average in...

  10. I'M ****** OFF!!!!!!

    tfleuter replied to ccjus123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nursing school, NCLEX and the first year on the job will let you know who "gets it", not the pre-reqs. I do agree that the pre-reqs are foundation material, but I think a lot of this is being...

  11. 20% Pass Rate

    tfleuter replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    This is insane! Why aren't BON's looking into these schools? It shouldn't be enough that their NCLEX pass rates are above 85%, graduation rates should be up there as well. Maybe not 85%, but at...

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

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    I was signed up for the M/W class, but I switched to the T/R so I could take physiology as well. I'm so glad that I took the TEAS and got it over with, but since your score can only be improved by...

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

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    I'm applying for the Fall as well! I'm finishing up Chem and Micro this semseter and will be taking Anatomy, Physiology and NURS 1400 this summer. I've already taken the TEAS, but I may take it...

  14. Need some advice...

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

    Pre-reqs will get you into nursing school, which will lead to what you really want to do, whether it be LPN or RN. While becoming a CNA would be an excellent way to get paid experience, I wouldn't...

  15. Bare minimum prerequisites

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

    Depends on your school. Mine: 2 semesters worth of pre-reqs totaling 33 credits. 1st semester pre-reqs are used to compile your GPA which will be 60% of the points used to determine who gets in. The...

  16. 20% Pass Rate

    tfleuter replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    I would talk to your nursing deparment/instructors to get an idea of what the average pass rate is for your school. It is possible that this particular class has been below average. I know, with a...

  17. Those nursing students that just don't seem to "get it"

    tfleuter replied to SolaireSolstice's topic in General Students

    I would be willing to help, but only to the point where my schooling isn't affected. I guess I just like helping others out who are grateful to recieve it that is. But if this student started...

  18. B.S in Psychology: Looking into second degree in Nursing

  19. Easy instructors vs. difficult instructors

    tfleuter posted a topic in General Students

    I'm having a mini pity party here, so bear with me I'm in my last weeks of microbiology, and all I can say is I'm glad it will be over soon! The class has been difficult to say the least. I knew this...

    tfleuter replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ooohhh! I hope I am! I won't find out till the end of July

  21. Easy instructors vs. difficult instructors

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for the replies! Sometimes I wish all courses were set up like the math department at my school. Each teacher is allowed to leacture, assign HW, set up tests, ect. however the wish...

  22. Im thinking about applying for a student loan,,,,, can anyone give me any ideas?

    tfleuter replied to new_mom2005's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Have you talked to your financial aid advisor at your school? They should be able to help you figure out which loan is best for you. Otherwise, I just went through FAFSA and applied for Pell Grants...

  23. Youngest CRNA student?

    tfleuter replied to runnerVA's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I wouldn't think that a school would deny you based upon your age, rather it would pick older students with more ICU/critical care experience instead. Never hurts to contact the school you are mosted...

  24. RN TO CRNA

    tfleuter replied to jontrizzan's topic in General Nursing

    Check out the pre-CRNA inquiry forum under the "specialty" tab at the top of the page and then go to "advanced practice nursing. Most, if not all of your questions will be answered in the stickies at...

  25. My rant, rave, and organization thread

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

    Haha! I know what you mean about parking. Grinds my bum the prices we have to pay just so you can scavange for a parking spot for 15 minutes and avoid using the "free lot" located out in BFE. I guess...
