  1. Took TEAS today!

    krimicrat replied to krimicrat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as what is most challenging - I think it depends on everyone's particular circumstances. The English/vocab sections were easy. But if someone were not well-versed in English then perhaps it...

  2. teas test help PLEASE

    krimicrat replied to motherofgirls's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just took the test today. What I will say is that if it is in the ATI book, you should probably know it. It is impossible to say which questions you will get (every test is different), but its all...

  3. Renting books?????

    krimicrat replied to Peeker19's topic in General Nursing

    I get mine from www.chegg.com. I seriously am amazed at how expensive books are, and how much money one can save by renting them. Also, they plant a tree for every book you rent, which I think is...

  4. Renting books?????

    krimicrat replied to Peeker19's topic in General Nursing

    I intend to rent all the books I can (and have been for my prereq's) for a couple reasons: 1) my sister is a nurse in critical care, and she said not to bother keeping them 2) I am a lawyer, so have...

  7. TEAS test.

    krimicrat replied to kv07's topic in General Students

    I have never taken it - but am also taking it on Friday the 7th. I am going to use the ATI book (it's supposed to arrive today), and will focus on the math and science portions. I don't even know how...

  8. My TEAS experience...

    krimicrat replied to California Kid's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is so funny that the earth science part seems to always be on there :) Glad it went well. I hope to report the same thing in about 10

  9. Studying for TEAS in 8 days???

    krimicrat posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just signed up to take the TEAS on 8/7. I am really hoping I can study for this thing in 8 days, because it is the only time I can take it. The only things I need to brush up on are science and...

  12. Past traumatic experiences and nursing school - how will you deal?

    krimicrat replied to nocheapones's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so sorry for your loss. What motivates me is thinking about the lifelong difference a caring healthcare worker made for me and my family. What an honor it will be to not only provide excellent...

  13. Denied funding - resolution of excess hours

    krimicrat posted a topic in General Students

    I just learned that my appeal to the 'resolution of excess hours' denial for my request for financial aid has been denied. They said they will not allow any funding, even with federal loans, for...

    Thanks! I have decided to pursue a BSN, and changed my FAFSA and spoke with the school, and should be fine. I appreciate all the

  15. Denied funding - resolution of excess hours

    krimicrat replied to krimicrat's topic in General Students

    This is what I did. Instead of seeking a BSN, I thought doing the cheapest thing would be best and thought I'd go for the 2 year degree - getting me out faster and earning quicker. But, looks like...

  16. Denied funding - resolution of excess hours

    krimicrat replied to krimicrat's topic in General Students

    I haven't asked anyone here whether they think I deserve the money, nor have I asked for anyone's sympathy. I have asked for other people with previous education to let me know their experiences with...

    "people are really hurting financially now ... and most (all?) sources of financial aid are being stretched to the max in an effort to fill the needs of people who are truly unable to pay for...

  18. Denied funding - resolution of excess hours

    krimicrat replied to krimicrat's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies. I am not able to get private loans. I may look into working at a hospital, etc. I have to work odd hours because we have three children and my DH works full time. We avoid...
