I barely studied...and I guess it came back to haunt me. I only got into the LPN program, and missed the RN program by 5 points. So...STUDY STUDY STUDY!!!!! Not that there is anything wrong with getting into the LPN Program...I am happy now!!! Some people are on waiting lists for years! But, I would definitely say get the TEAS Study Guide by ATI. That is what I used and it is pretty similar. Good Luck!!!!

I just took my TEAS test on Tuesday. I would definitely review geology/earth science....there are questions about volcano/plates/earthquake kinda stuff.... I know it sounds stupid :) but, I wasn't expecting it at all! I agree with the post before me.....REVIEW your Periodic Table!!! English, Vocab., Reading...etc....was a breeze for me. Good Luck!!!

Thanks so much! I have been so busy the past week, I haven't had time to focus--But, your ideas were great

i have to do a project for my class on the nervous system....yeah i know there is a lot to the nervous system, but i think it just needs to be the basics!! does anyone have any good game ideas involving the nervous system...or something fun to do to get my class involved?? i want my project to be great, so any ideas would be greatly appreciated!! i looked up most of the websites for ideas...but most of them are either way too advanced for my class...or directed for elementary school...... i would love to do something fun....help!

are there any teas practice tests available online that are similar to the real test?? and....not have to pay the $30 bucks?? just wondering! thanks!

Thanks for sharing!!! I am scared as well :)

Thanks for your support! I have the Interactive Physiology 10-System Suite Cd-ROM...and so far it is okay. I tried going to MY A and P, or The A and P Place (everything seems to be the same thing.. :) Who knows, I guess I will try the diagrams all over the floor...that might work for me!! :) Since I have 3 little boys...maybe the Anatomy coloring book is a good idea!!! haha :anpom: Have a good night guys! And if anyone wants to add me as a friend---feel free! Maybe we can help each other out!

Hi there! Thanks so much for all your input :typing I took my quiz last night, and I got an 86.07...so it's not an A...but I am feeling a little better! I think I need to read A LOT more in order to get an A! Good luck to you as well!! Message me anytime!:dncgbby:

i started a & p: i on january 12th. i am using the marieb book (if anyone else is too!) i feel sooo overwhelmed. i took basic a & p last semester, and breezed through it. i know a & p is serious work, but can anyone give me some tips to boost my grade?? i just took a quiz and i got a 79.2...uggh! one of the main problems i think, is that this class is online!! complete craziness! i have taken about 7 classes online, and made all a's. so, i am used to the self-discipline involved, in order to do well in these classes. i have another quiz tomorrow, and i am scared! any ideas??? please...i cannot drop this class, because i will receive a w/f.... thanks, if anyone can help me out!! and happy valentine's day!!! :heartbeat

i am so jealous!! :heartbeat my dream has always been to work in the nursery, nicu, or peds... what semester of ns are you in?? i start rn school in august, but for now i am completing the cna program at my cc. i can't wait! i know it will be exhausting, but i am going to try my best to overcome it! my husband is very supportive, and he watches our 3 boys while i am at school~at night. he is great!! i wish you the best of luck in your classes--and have a great valentine's day! :flwrhrts:

How much is the Melatonin or Melatonin/Magnesium combo?? Which mg. do I start out with~if anyone knows!

I have applied to the ADN, and the LPN program. My advisor said I should be able to get into both programs based on my Pre-reqs...GPA etc. I have to take the TEAS Test in about 3 weeks....so only time will tell :) Thanks for being so nice!!!:heartbeat

:yeah:thank you for your helpful response!!!

You could've responded to a post that interests you...instead of leaving me your rude remarks.:barf01:

ok, i posted a thread a few days ago about lpn vs rn programs. i am totally scared now!! i want to work in a hospital, and apparently from replies, info on the internet...etc....lpns are not being hired for hospital care anymore!! i have to decide within a matter of weeks which program i want to take! i was going to do the lpn program, because i need some extra money to help with bills, and with 3 small children...it just seemed like the logical choice for me. i am soooo confused, and i wish someone could point me in the right direction! i am currently in a cna program which ends in april. i could use that income to help with bills in the meantime...but why take the lpn program...if no one will hire me...but ltc facilities. i am a hospital girl! please help!! :urgycld:~holly~ :flwrhrts:thank you!!!! good luck to everyone :heartbeat

i feel for you!! i know you didn't want to take ambien or anything--but i take tylenol p.m. if i cannot calm down before bed. i will do the same exact thing, and lie in bed thinking about everything i did the entire day!! it is crazy! if you get that bad off, i would at least give it a try when you really need to sleep (before a test...etc..) hope this helps :heartbeat

:heartbeatthanks to everyone for their replies!! i was dead set on going into the lpn program because i wanted a job earlier than the rn program. i will probably have to pray that i get into the rn program now!! :wshgrt: i should have my teas test letter soon, so on that note...i will let everyone know what happens! ****thinking good thoughts*****

does anyone know of a general base pay for lpns?? i have no idea whatsoever. i know rn's make somewhere near 20.00 plus diff/weekends/overnights....etc. i live in nc. any ideas, or comments on what y'all make?? thanks!!

I took two math classes, two psychology classes, one english, world religion, and even the Intro to college.. Now, I am taking A and P online!! How weird is that?? Apparently my college is one of the few that offer it online! You should definitely check out community colleges close to your house for the best school that offers the most for you!!! Good luck!!

hi there! my name is holly, and i am currently in a difficult position~i applied to the lpn and the rn programs at my community college. my advisor said i will get into both (because of my gpa, and i have taken all pre-reqs for both programs) does anyone have any advice at all...to help me with this decision?? i am also taking the cna class right now, so i can work up until august when nursing school starts! i thought the lpn to rn transition would be easier with the advanced placement...but who knows. i am so confused now! i am 31...and i have 3 boys that are 8, 6. and 4...and of course a husband i know the workload will be awfully time consuming...but if anyone was in the same boat as me...i would love to hear your comments!! thanks for listening, and good luck to everyone!!!
