OK thanks for the info. I got an email back asking me for more info and a time to set up a (telephone) appt. I haven't yet responded b/c I am trying to figure out when I could talk to someone on the phone (my 4 kids are out of school for the summer...

Now that would be awesome b/c sometimes those bundles have their own ISBN. To be able to break it down would be awesome.

Congratulations! I think that first year is such a huge hump to get over b/c its not just learning how to do things, but learning how to be confident in yourself and get over the self-consciousness about being a student and feeling like you don't kno...

CSN (Nevada) offers it online but it is currently full and requires pre-reqs to be cleared to register (I know, I tried to register online without having yet submitted my transcripts for transfer credit and it blocked me). It is under the HIT design...

I can't offer any practical real-world experience but I want to let you know I have issues with my bs if I don't eat properly (and sometimes when I do) and I have discovered recently that they are a lot more likely to occur if I am not properly hydra...

Its been an on-again off-again thing for me since about age 21. I honestly stumbled upon it around age 21, after being interested in emergency medical care and then having someone tell me that nurses make a decent living. In the 5 yrs it took me to...

Chemistry is hard for many many people. I read a pre-pharmacy forum b/c I am also applying to a Pharm D program next year (Nursing is one of my alternates) and many of the pre-pharmers (and you know pharmacy relies on chem and biochem a lot) are get...

I have to admit when I read the mcdonalds idea I thought "no way in heck". I started thinking about it though in relation to the toddler (almost 3yrs) I have now, as opposed to how my older children were. He requires less supervision than they did ...

Well that does suck. I took college pre-calc/college Algebra (same thing different school) twice, first for a D because I screwed around and did not put in the work, and second time for an A. But that was 20 yrs ago and I can assure you I not only...

Wow, what is too many times? Honestly 10 yrs is so long ago the logical thing for them to do would be to give you one chance to re-take it as a current course and get an acceptable grade. I agree to look at CSN and see what they say.

Hi I have what is probably a dumb question. If I take the TEAS at CSN, can I also have ATI send the score report to another school as well? I wouldn't need to do it right then, but later on in the year, if I apply elsewhere, I am assuming the scores...

For me it was not the gross stuff - before kids I was ok with it, at least with the thought - it was touching people. I actually dropped from the second term of an LPN program not because the work at the nursing home doing baths and diapers and feed...

That would be me. Still not sure about going back. I have left a path towards nursing twice - once, with one pre-nursing semester left to go, was not because I was running from nursing but because I decided to pursue something different yet related...

That's what I thought. Just wanted to make sure. You can take it at a PearsonVue test center independent of any college, but the cost is $100. CSN charges less and I just wanted to make sure that just because CSN administers it, they don't "own" th...

I just finished retaking it this past fall/spring. The first time I took it I was just really excited - no one had psyched me out about difficulty - for that I am thankful b/c it was work but it was not scary, and it and pathophysiology were my favor...

I am so sorry to hear this. She was an amazing source of information and help to students and she will be sorely missed.

I wonder b/c they are accredited by the NLN and I thought you needed a good (not sure of the exact) pass rate - or maybe that is for the state board of nursing to approve you. Considering each block requires a 90% to pass it makes you wonder if the...

Congrats to all! I had forgotten there was a part-time track. Is it similar to the CSN PT track where you go evenings and clinical is on the weekend? I am going to go look at their website. The more I think about it, the more I think PT might be a ...

Thanks!

From combing through the posts about it it seems that if you take EVERYTHING before applying and come close to maximizing points, you can get in without much worry. The rest of the time it appears to fluctuate by semester - I think switching to the ...

justme - I just bought a review book for the TEAS and was wondering where the practice test online is located? The book had a diagnostic test which was pretty helpful in pointing out my weak areas but I would love to do the practice test. I will be ...

I have 4 kids and I may be applying to the part time program, which is evening and weekends, specifically for the reasons other parents have given: if your child is home sick, you probably won't have to miss a clinical b/c your spouse may be home f...

Hmm - I think I need to take it online somewhere so I can take Micro in the Spring. I will read back through the thread. So you have a lot of essays to write? I am moving to Las Vegas this summer and will miss the cutoff date to qualify for in-sta...

Yes - it is completely online. The required work is: one quiz per week, a test every couple of weeks covering an average of 2 chapters, and a lab each week which is about 6 pages to read that elaborate on the chapter material, plus a case study at...

Clovis Community College offers AP1 and 2 and I find the workload incredibly reasonable. I would not say its easy, but if you read the chapter, answer the review questions in the chapter, and read the online materials the professor provides, you wil...
