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

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

    If you don't get into the accel. bsn, look into direct entry RN programs. You don't have to do CNA to LPN to RN, though working as a CNA first might give you some insight on the nursing career to see...

  2. I am so upset, please help me.

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

    It is bad enough that this class is not working for you and that your grades are suffering from it, but certainly don't let it affect your other classes as well. If you do drop (and I really think...

  3. I am so upset, please help me.

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

    I should point out that I realize this is a microbiology class, but your teacher seems really focused on the research side of it, which I think should be the role of english classes, hence help from...

  4. I am so upset, please help me.

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

    Any chance of talking to someone from your school (besides your teacher that is)? Does your school have a tutoring or English Lab you can take advantage of? Heck, I would even be sending random...

  5. Anyone taking A&P 1 this summer? Up for an online study group?

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

    I'll be taking Anatomy in the summer as well (our school splits anatomy and phys into 2 seperate classes instead of A&PI and II) and will be starting around the same time as you! I'm always...

  6. Completely and totally disgusted.

    tfleuter replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I also wanted to say that this doesn't seem so bad to me either. We pay the same per month and our deductibles are only slightly

  7. Completely and totally disgusted.

    tfleuter replied to flightnurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you need to contact a lawyer. They can help you through this process and will be well worth the money spent. You need to go higher up. This "guy" is not the one who has the last say,...

  8. SHE'S AT IT AGAIN!!!

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

    Is #1 maybe transport protein? #2 definately

  9. Those who have taken the TEAS - Study guides

    tfleuter posted a topic in General Students

    I currently have the TEAS Pre-Test Study Manual by ATI (ISBN: 1933107006) that I am using to study for the TEAS that I will be taking in March and want to know anyone else has used it? I'm tempted to...

  10. Anyone see a need for a laptop in NS?

    tfleuter posted a topic in General Students

    I've never been one to bring a laptop to classes, usually I find hand writing my notes much more my style. Plus with all the books I need to drag around, the last thing I want is too add a laptop to...

  11. Microbiology study group spring 2009

    tfleuter replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hehehe! Sounds JUST like the way my instructor formulates his tests. You can't just memorize the material, you have to be able to apply it to other things. We've had 2 exams so far and I've gotten...

  12. Huge Nursing School Debt!

    tfleuter replied to Shortigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't understand how a school can justify that kind of tuition, even for out of state. I guess that means state taxes are funding $50k for every in state student that graduates? That just...

  13. "Is it ok if the student stays in the room?" <-- ARRG

    tfleuter replied to Alternator81's topic in General Students

    When I was delivering my 2nd child, I was asked if it was ok if a student nurse was present. I was ok with it and didn't even have a problem with her learning how to feel how dialated I was, which if...

  14. Convincing a stubborn husband

    tfleuter replied to blitz1030's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    :yeahthat: I would also add, that if money is a concern (cutting your income in half is a big deal) than hold out and wait for the RN program instead of the LPN. It will give you more time to save...

  15. How many people quit or flunk out of NS vs graduate?

    tfleuter replied to cpo_one's topic in General Students

    I think it really depends on the individual schools. Some will have better ratios than

  16. Anyone see a need for a laptop in NS?

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for the input! With the school I am at, there are several computer labs throughout campus and it's usually never a problem to get on one when needed. So for this reason, I never...

  17. Anbody Else Gain a Ton of Weight in Nursing School?

    tfleuter replied to CandyGyrl's topic in General Students

    Busy here too! Two small kids and only doing pre-reqs right now, I can only imagine how much harder it will be once I'm in nursing school. I just had my baby back in Nov, so I'm still trying to...

  18. Is this a bad sign??

    tfleuter replied to Roxy0628's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Bad instructors can make a subject seem impossible, even when they are not. I would still attempt to do well in the class you are in, but to use ratemyprofessor in the future for the rest of the...

  19. Confused About The GPA's

    tfleuter replied to brownsugar74's topic in General Students

    The gpa you are refering two (all classes) is your cumulative gpa. It sounds like your school is seperating the two for evaluation. They can count only the classes that they want to and find the gpa...

  20. Is being terrified of getting in a bad sign??

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

    Hmmm....are you sure that they way you were feeling was directly linked to the idea of starting nursing school in the fall, or could it been tied up with some other concern? I don't even know if that...

  21. Microbiology study group spring 2009

    tfleuter replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it because they use anaerobic

  22. The waiting is unbearable!!!!!!

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

    I actuallyprefer that. I hate writing essays and would rather put in the work for good grades than to mess around with getting letters of recommendations, interviews, ect. That's just me

  23. New Nursing School Updates!!!!!!!!

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

    Different state than you, but my school rearranged a few classes so that they are taken as pre-reqs instead of in the program. They also have changed their ADN so that it takes 6 semesters to...

  24. Microbiology study group spring 2009

    tfleuter replied to ladyscorpian14's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry to hear that you had to drop out, but you'll be even more prepared the next time you take it! Are you still going to take any other classes while you are pregnant? I spent the last fall in my...

  25. I'm I wrong? Honest answers please!

    tfleuter replied to redraven_y2k's topic in General Students

    Why oh why couldn't my high school had something so cool! I swear all we had was a crappy football team, some other essential sports, drama club and few other things, but nothing like that! Way...
