  1. For those in NS/clincials

    tfleuter posted a topic in General Students

    Hi all! I am currently finishing up the last of my pre-reqs and will hopefully be accepted into my nursing program this coming fall. I was curious to see what everyones schedules are like,...

  2. For those in NS/clincials

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone for responding! It is interesting to hear how other schools have arranged schedules/clinical picks, ect. Even if every school does it a little bit differently, it is pretty obvious...

  3. Private Colleges???

    tfleuter replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    I bet Westminister is a wonderful school to go to and I have heard their nursing program is very nice indeed, but how much does school ranking matter? I guess I'm wondering, for Utah specifically,...

  4. Money

    tfleuter replied to travis73's topic in General Students

    Big fan of Sam's club here! There are only certain things there that I buy though. Somethings just seem like a bargain, until you scope it out and find out that you can get for the same price w/out...

  5. For those in NS/clincials

    tfleuter replied to tfleuter's topic in General Students

    Great tip! I think i will be in a situation like yours where I will be hovering around 10 or 11 credits. I've always thought it would be fun to sign up for a PE elective like aerobics or something....

  6. Microbiology study group spring 2009

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

    PurposebyDesign I think the best thing to do is write up the results you observed and then explain that you know they are wrong/contaminated b/c xyz should have happened. Maybe even adding in a part...

  7. Microbiology study group spring 2009

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

    I've been using the CD that comes with our textbook and it has been a big help. There is also a supporting website, but between the book and cd, I don't have time to check anything else out! I wish...

  8. A Question for ADN Students and Grads

    tfleuter replied to sarahkk's topic in General Students

    Thats the way I think too. The quickest way for me is to go through a private career college at almost $50K, but it would only save me about 6 months, so the state university I am at is the next best...

  9. A Question for ADN Students and Grads

    tfleuter replied to sarahkk's topic in General Students

    That is awesome! I looked at the local CC we have that overs the ADN and it would be around $7500. I would definately go that route if the waiting list wasn't 2 years

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

    tfleuter replied to redraven_y2k's topic in General Students

    1. - YES! Go back to nursing school! 2. - Absolutely not! For whatever reason, this school was not a good match for you, better to find one that is 3. - I don't think you were wrong for...

  11. A Question for ADN Students and Grads

    tfleuter replied to sarahkk's topic in General Students

    The university I am shooting for will probably cost around $12k for tuition (including all pre-reqs) but I don't know how much for books and other misc

  12. If you have taken the TEAS test please post back.

    tfleuter replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I haven't taken the TEAS yet, but I know at my school you need at least a 50% in each area to pass. However, if you only get a 50% in any one area, chances are you won't have a competitive enough...

  13. Straight to RN Program or LPN?

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

    If you already have a B.S. degree, I would suggest going the RN route. My philosophy is to take whatever route gets you to your goal the fastest as long as it is compatible with your current life...

  14. Money

    tfleuter replied to travis73's topic in General Students

    Things are tight for my family too. My husband works between 60-70hrs each week to support us. Mon thru friday he comes home at around 7:30am (I'm already gone w/ the kids for school) is usually in...

  15. I think I may go get my food stamp when I graduate

    tfleuter replied to wshy_no1's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't worry, I got the humor in your title, but really, you will be fine. Unless you have taken out massive amounts of student loans (which is why I always try to caution friends/family/posters to be...

  16. College Cost Venting

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

    Vent away. It's one of the uses for this board. If you don't want advice, then ignore it. But obviously you are NOT doing so well because you have already stated: You have no money You have little...

  17. The waiting is unbearable!!!!!!

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

    Application deadline for me is in May. I still have to take the TEAS in March and still have 2 classes to take during the summer before starting in the fall. So even though I'll be busy, I'm already...

  18. College Cost Venting

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

    So, you have 23K in student loans in less than 2 years of college, that means one of two things: Either you have been going to a fairly expensive school, or you have been a little to unwise with your...

  19. Family Rad Tech jealous of me RN student?

    tfleuter replied to gelousstudent's topic in General Students

    I was curious so I looked up the salaries for a rad tech vs a rn in my area on salary.com. The two come up with very similar salaries (RNs only averaging about $2K more). As others have said, just...

  20. TEAS scores; do I have a shot?

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

    Unless someone else here goes to or is applying to that school, there's no way to tell. It's a good score, so you shouldn't be too worried, but it all depends on how well other applicants have done...

  21. Microbiology

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

    Chem will help you in your future classes, but I know what you mean about taking classes that seem pointless. I had to take an ethics and values class and it was not what I thought it was going to be...

  22. Teas Test

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

    For the school I am applying for, I think it is just one more way for them to weed through all the applicants (approx 300 for something like 40-50 spots) without having to go through an interview...

  23. CNA or Multi-skilled Medical Tech??

    tfleuter replied to Shante1985's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I was thinking about your situation more and trying to decide what I would do in your shoes. As you already know, if your real dream is to become a doctor, then you have quite a few years and...

  24. Private Colleges???

    tfleuter replied to cnafromaz's topic in General Nursing

    I've looked into this school before but admit the tuition prices scared me off :uhoh21: There's no way I could afford approx $12k a

  25. Back Rubs

    tfleuter replied to Saifudin's topic in General Nursing

    When I delivered my last son, I really messed up my upperarm/shoulder (probably from the pushing) and all the muscles in that area seemed to be burning. I remember waking up the next morning to the...
