  1. which study manual is best for TEAS test?

    tfleuter replied to shacal228's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took the TEAS this past week and I used the Kaplan and ATI study guides. Kaplan goes more in depth for each subject, except for English, where I personally felt the ATI did a better job. I...

  2. A list of schools that only look at Prereqs

    tfleuter replied to stewfish18's topic in General Students

    "prereq only" school name: utah valley university adn/asn, bsn, or msn and or accelerated: adn/bsn/msn/accelerated city, state: orem, ut waitlist, yes or no: no tests, hesi, teas, etc: teas = 40% of...

  3. Teas Test

    tfleuter replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, the ATI study guide really does little to prepare you for the science. The Kaplan version is much more in depth, but even then I still felt like that part of the exam covers so a wide range of...

  4. Is the ECONOMY effecting your NURSING SCHOOL?

    tfleuter replied to Cari001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I hope not. I would rather compete with people to get into nursing school than compete with new grads for a job in an overflooded

  5. What should I say?

    tfleuter replied to Young-one's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It's interesting, because when I mention to people I would like to be a CRNA, no one has ever suggested becoming a MDA instead. Mostly, people don't even know what a CRNA is. If you know why you...

  6. Failed NET. Any advice for brushing up on math and reading?

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

    I can't say for sure since my school uses the TEAS instead of the NET, but I found that the study guides you can purchase online were very helpful. Plus, since you have taken the test once, you will...

  7. Respiratory Therapist Programs in UT

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks RN2bAPRN! Unfortunately I think Weber is a little to far north for her, otherwise it would be a great fit for her, i'm

  8. Teas Test

    tfleuter replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, glad to say that I took the TEAS and got it over with! I'm pretty happy with my scores. 100% on reading, 91% on math, 80% on science and 85.5% on English. Composite was 89.7%. This ranked me...

  9. Nurse Practitioner vs. Physician Assistant

    tfleuter replied to Amadea1254's topic in General Students

    For the op - you should call around to the hospitals in your area to see if there is a preference on way or the other. Only they can tell you for certain who they prefer to hire (or if there even is...

  10. Is the ECONOMY effecting your NURSING SCHOOL?

    tfleuter replied to Cari001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm guessing more people will attempt to go to school (if they money/loans are there to do so) and that many more will consider nursing and other health professions because of all the nursing...

  11. Clinical site is dangerous

    tfleuter replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    Ugh, that really stinks. I wonder what kind of possible liability the school might be taking on by using this site (since students must park in a area outside of the hospital.) Not that I think the...

  12. Clinical site is dangerous

    tfleuter replied to deemarys's topic in General Students

    Is this a new clinical site for the school, or have they used it for some time? I would definately take your concerns to your school and see what they say. Definately see if you can carpool with a...

  13. Rejected...

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

    Don't give up. Like others have suggested, consider schools that are further away or retake the TEAS. You have months now to prepare for it and you know what to expect. I'm sure you'll do better...

  14. Private Colleges???

    tfleuter replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    On the other hand, it weeds out those who are only semi serious about entering the program. The wait list would be even longer if they didn't require you to do the pre-reqs first. What other options...

  15. Would you take class over if you made a "C"?

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

    Not all schools are competitive based, or, like mine, only count certain pre-reqs in the gpa for selection. If this isn't a class that is used to determine who is accepted, then it's really not...

  16. Would you take class over if you made a "C"?

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

    If a C is good enough to get in, I wouldn't retake it. I'm taking Microbiology right now and I haven't taken anatomy or physiology. I understand the material pretty well and have a high B right now....

  17. Teas Test

    tfleuter replied to Nervous Nursey2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken it yet, but from all the advice here, it sounds like the ATI will give you a pretty good idea of what will be on the test. I also ordered the Kaplan study guide for nursing entrance...

  18. Help! CNA, LPN, RN, BSN.....?

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

    I wouldn't let what others think determine which path I choose :wink2: While I can definately understand where you are coming from, and I can understand why some CNAs/LPNs might resent new RN's who...

  19. I am so upset, please help me.

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

    I just don't understand why your teacher is taking up so much valuable time with writing research papers when this is a microbiology class??? The school I go to has us specifically take a research...

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you very

  21. convincing my husband and getting started

    tfleuter replied to southerncharm86's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Put yourself back on the "to do" list of life! While attempting to take care of everyone else around you, you also need to take care of yourself. As you can see, sometimes when we don't look out for...

  22. Desperate for some advice!!!!

    tfleuter replied to 1stloveistobeanurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This situation sounds toxic on many levels. Living with his parents makes the two of you dependent on them which is not a good idea with the type of personalities you are describing. If for any...

  23. Passing out in the OR

    tfleuter replied to Carrie_MTC's topic in General Students

    I used to assist with surgeries at a vet's office and know that hot, woozy feeling all to well. The worst time I ever had was when I had to hold up a Labrador Retriever's leg for part of a TPLO sx...

  24. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    tfleuter replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    I also forgot to mention that if your ultimate goal is MSN, then I can't see a lot of sense in getting your LPN vs. direct entry RN, unless you really want that experience (which from what I can tell,...

  25. CNA to LPN to BSN to MSN , Whew!

    tfleuter replied to MedNurse2k's topic in LPN to RN

    Ok, not a CNA, so take this for what it's worth: not much, lol! But...unless you find an employer who will help with tuition, or want to apply to a program that gives some kind of preferential...
