  1. Parents at Orientation

    tfleuter replied to lak20019's topic in General Students

    If parents are paying for the education, then they have every right to make sure that their money is being well spent and not squandered. If someone wants to "feel" independent, then that means s/he...

  2. For those of you who have been accepted......

    tfleuter replied to Triple A's's topic in General Nursing

    No working, just school and my two young boys. I think if our family absolutely needed me to, I could do a part time job with the schedule I am looking at, but we will continue to keep expenses down...

  3. child violated at daycare (by child) what would you do?

    tfleuter replied to randomperson's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry this happened to your son. I have no advice but hope that things will be handled

  4. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    tfleuter replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    I think the best way to discribe it is that the selection process focuses on finding students who will most likely succeed in the program. The program focuses on shaping the students into nurses. The...

  5. Please help!!!!

    tfleuter replied to Demico1986's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, no personal experience with Jobs Corps or Davis Applied, but I can say that you will need to be prepared to put in a lot of time and effort in your pre-reqs to assure you have good grades and...

  6. Are Nursing schools hurting Nursing?

    tfleuter replied to is5512's topic in General Students

    So, are you suggesting that you are not a compassionate person (since you recieve high grades) OR are you assuming that you are unique and few others could possibly be academically strong AND...

  7. Parents at Orientation

    tfleuter replied to lak20019's topic in General Students

    Did she say why she wants to attend? Is she paying for your school or just supplies? Does she understand what orientation is and how long it will be? If she knew it was going to be a 7 hour event...

  8. Teas Test lets hear what you have to say

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

    The science section was a little crazy. The content wasn't necessary complicated, but it was all over the place. I had one anatomy/physiology question, yet 3 or 4 on geology (which I have never...

  9. Working With An AA Degree While In RN-BSN Program??

    tfleuter replied to Jay-Y's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My neighbor worked full time while completing her RN-BSN program. I think she even had to drive almost an hour away to attend the school and she has a young daughter. It's doable, just depends how...

  10. Cheating on final

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

    This is one reason why I love the testing center at my school. The chances of having someone next to you taking the same test is slim, so it cuts down on the cheating. I can't believe "Ann" had the...

  11. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

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

    I just recieved my acceptance letter today for UVU's BSN program this fall and I am soo excited! I can't wait to

  12. how do you support your family and attend nursing school

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

    Dear Hubby works 60 hours a week, 3rd shift, to support our family while I am in school. Money is a bit tight and we don't get to see each other as much as we would like, but it's what we have to do...

  13. who was not a good student before choosing nursing?

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

    Another motivation-lacking student here as well! If I remember correctly, I think I graduated highschool with a 2.7something. When I finally decided to apply for the nursing program at my...

  14. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    tfleuter replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    I think often being an "A" student is considered synonymous with being competitive and cut throat. Students earn that A grade for a variety of reasons. Some, of course, are motivated by...

  15. AASN vs ABSN

    tfleuter replied to Apollo85's topic in General Students

    If it were me, I would go for the ABSN program, but I'm ok with the idea of intense study schedules in order to finish faster. If you are typically an A-/B+ average student, I would say you are...

  16. Do you have any other options?

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

    Haven't even considered it, but I suppose I would try to stay in something health care related. Respiratory therapy, rad or ultrasound tech, these things might appeal to me, but one of the main...

  17. Misled by Academic Coordinator/Advisor

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

    While I think it is wonderful that you were able to graduate HS so early, I do think you should maybe allow yourself to slow it down a bit and not push yourself so hard to finish your schooling as...

  18. Stevens Henager RN program???

    tfleuter replied to klarsen's topic in General Nursing

    I found this post in another thread, may give you something to think about. I think Steve H is the school I contacted a year ago about their program and the whole set up didn't appeal to me. They...

  19. Unsupportive husband

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

    Maybe sitting down and having a talk with him after this is blown over would be a good idea. Husbands are allowed to have bad days too and if being cut off was the straw the broke the camels back,...

  20. My Plan - Would Love Some Input

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

    Sounds like a decent plan to me. If your goal is MSN, then whatever gets you to your BSN the fastest and with reasonable course loads is usually the way to go. Good luck with whatever path you...

  21. Nursing Tuition off the Chain!! Need Help!!

    tfleuter replied to JoI8815's topic in General Students

    I feel this is worth repeating. Anytime you accumulate debt, you are taking on risk. The more debt, the higher the risk. Of course, everyone is going to be comfortable with different levels, but...

  22. What TEAS score does your school require?

    tfleuter replied to %63theend's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It was better than ATI's science section, thats for sure!

  23. BSN programs with no pre-reqs?

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

    Are you trying to avoid waitlists or are you not wanting to have to rely on pre-req GPA to be accepted into the program? If you want to avoid waitlists, then you should still consider competitive...

  24. Misled by Academic Coordinator/Advisor

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

    I'm a little confused as to what she advised you to do, so I'm not sure what to say. Many advisors see the trends of students and the classes they take, particularly incoming freshmen. They often...

  25. What was your GPA & PRE-ENTRANCE EXAM SCORE and did you get accepted ?

    tfleuter replied to xiongstar_31's topic in General Students

    My program of choice uses only 2 criteria. The pre-req gpa (60%) and the TEAS (40%). Avg gpa accepted the last semester was 3.87 and the TEAS composite was 89%. My gpa is 3.93 and TEAS was 89%, so...
