  1. TEAS 4.0 on computer - can go back?

    Emilynn09 replied to seanInSD's topic in General Students

    I'm confused. How can she have never had any science courses but is applying to nursing school and taking the TEAS? When I took the TEAS there was some Geography, some chemistry, some physics, and...

  2. Is it like this at every school or is it just mine?

    Emilynn09 replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    It's like that at my school as well. One lecture time for med/surg. But our class size is small so it doesn't even make sense for the school to make several lecture times. We have different clinical...

  3. Entering nursing school in Sept. Any suggestion??

    Emilynn09 replied to sltenbroeck's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree more! Although I do have significantly less time that I used to, I'm not ripping my hair out and drowning in stress. I still have time for a couple hours of me time every day, as well...

  4. Is it very important for patients and nurses to wash hands in the nursing home ?

    Emilynn09 replied to kcvo's topic in General Students

    Handwashing IS that important. They can't force the patients to wash their hands but there is no excuse for the nurses not to be washing their hands between patients. That's just

  5. West Coast University, Info for a Pending Student Please

    Emilynn09 replied to smooshcrickets's topic in California Nursing

    I never needed a co-signer for my student loans. I had a good score and a decent credit history when applying for them, and they were also federal loans. I don't go to your university, but don't think...

  6. Life as a minority in nursing

    Emilynn09 replied to cookie91's topic in General Students

    I think this is going to depend greatly on where you are living. I live in SoCal, and while the term "minority" is still used for non-white people... the term is far from accurate here in the...

  7. Is clinical rotation "Murphey's Law" following you too?

    Emilynn09 replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    YES! I always get Saturday clinicals... and I HATE that. There are tons during the week and I always seem to get placed in the ONE group who has the weekend site.

  8. Teacher vs. Nurse?

    Emilynn09 replied to angeladod2's topic in General Students

    Nursing is mostly science... and by mostly, I mean just about all of it. If science doesn't interest you, maybe you wouldn't like nursing. and as others have said, nurses are having a hard time now...

  9. Do you guys see a lot of people saying they are nursing students....

    Emilynn09 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Can't say it really bothers me. To be honest. I have noticed it, but never really gave it much

  10. LPN or RN?

    Emilynn09 replied to jriley78's topic in General Students

    Many of my classmates work & go to school, it can be done, some have moved back in with family (not sure if this is an option for you), and have even become room mates to help pay the bills. Best...

  11. Just got accepted...terrified about Pharmacology

    Emilynn09 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    Pharm sucks. Not gonna lie. It was the hardest class I have EVER taken, and I am a 2nd degree nursing student. It was harder than anything I ever did in my bachelor's degree, including that 75 page...

  12. How to pay for Nursing school: Student Nursing Scholarship + Financial Aid Links

    Emilynn09 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Students

    Maybe wait until your baby is at least in School all day? That way it would help with the child care at least a little bit. Then you could schedule your courses around your child's school schedule as...

  13. Please help important decision

    Emilynn09 replied to anne danielle's topic in General Students

    What is it that you decided made you not want to be a nurse? You might encounter similar things as an ultrasound tech/ xray tech. There's tons you could do: Social Work Health Care Administration CNA...

  14. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Emilynn09 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I'd like to say a few things: 1. It's called a dress code; white shoes. Why are you still wearing black shoes? Are you that hung up on individuality that you can't just abide by the rules while you...

  15. School asks for private info?

    Emilynn09 replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    Afterthought: How well have you actually looked into programs in your area? I noticed this college you have applied to is in Oakville, is it also not within driving distance to Gainsville? Aren't they...

  16. do cna's only with with the elderly?

    Emilynn09 replied to klt324's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  18. Trying to Study for Urinary/Bowel test...have a ?

    Emilynn09 replied to chinacatSN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ischemia is restricted blood flow that results in tissue damage, and reduced blood flow is just what it says it is. Hope that helps. I know it's rather simplistic.

  19. What semester did you learn each skill?

    Emilynn09 replied to debstmomy's topic in General Students

    1st semester in Fundamentals we learned all the CNA type duties and assessments. 2nd semester everything else, how to assess and IV site, but nothing else about them. 3rd semester we learned IVs and...

  20. New Saunders comprehensive NCLEX-RN review

    Emilynn09 replied to Servingshots's topic in General Students

    I love my Saunders book. I have the 5th edition. I can't compare to the 4th though since the 5th is the only one I have. I use that alongside of Kaplan Test Prep to prepare for exams and study for...

  21. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    Emilynn09 replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    Or OB to look at amniotic fluid ferning; but that's the only time I've encountered it in clinical.

  22. School asks for private info?

    Emilynn09 replied to malarwen's topic in General Students

    Strange! Very Strange! Although, I do agree with some that have stated to just turn it in if you want to go there. Is it really worth all the trouble? Especially since it's the only school within...

  23. I failed my clinical placement

    Emilynn09 replied to Stuart De Gree's topic in General Students

    I AGREE!!! Get some feedback, apply it, and learn from it. I'm sorry you didn't

  24. Need some straight forward advice about picking between RN and LPN and doing prereqs

    Emilynn09 replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Students

    If RN is your ultimate goal, I say take the pre-reqs for that because eventually you will need to take them anyway. If it were me, I'd apply to both the RN and LVN programs and then decide what to do...

  25. My RN program doesn't include Med Surg or Pharmacology!? CONFUSED

    Emilynn09 replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Students

    Not all schools have a separate Pharmacology class. We had one, and I'd be happy if it were woven into the med/surg throughout the program as opposed to an entire class of h-e- double hockey stick....
