1. BSN program that only looks at pre-req GPA, not overall?

   Amaranthine replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Austin Peay State University - Clarksville, TN They look at pre-req GPA only and you have to take the TEAS test to get in. http://www.apsu.edu/nursing :)

2. Do nursing schools frown on repeat classes?

   Amaranthine replied to TexasNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing

   It depends on the school. Where I'm at, they take every grade from a class that you've retaken into consideration. So, if you got a C in one class but retook it again and got an A it doesn't matter-- the C still counts against you. However, they don'...

3. I stink at peripheral pulses

   Amaranthine replied to queenjulie's topic in General Students

   I was having a hard time with brachial at first, so I had to get the teacher to help out a little. She told me if I was having a a hard time finding it I should hyperextend their arm a bit. Now I can find it easy! I'm not sure if it's just taught thi...

4. Scrub sizes (pants)

   Amaranthine replied to Amaranthine's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thanks everyone!:) I got the brand from the bookstore and I looked it up to see which size I needed, then went and got a medium... only to find out that they fell off of me. Small was too big and extra small fit but were way too tight. I just got th...

5. Scrub sizes (pants)

   Amaranthine posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I have to buy my uniform for school at the bookstore. I'm not sure what brand the scrubs are, but we aren't allowed to try them on before we buy... and I don't want to have to wait in line to return (if possible). I was just wondering, if I wear a si...

6. Rank these classes by how hard they are

   Amaranthine replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Students

   Here's how I would rank them (going from hardest to easiest): A&P I (Concepts: 4; Volume: 5) A&P II (Concepts: 3; Volume: 4) Dev. Psychology (Concepts: 2; Volume: 4) Microbiology (Concepts: 2; Volume: 4) Sociology (Concepts: 1; Volume: 2) A&...

7. Littmann color question

   Amaranthine replied to Amaranthine's topic in Uniform/Gear

   Thank you for answering. :) I didn't really think about my uniform when I was looking at the colors. The green is just the one that looks nicest to me (green is my favorite color). That's why I also asked what color would go best with the uniform. I ...

8. Littmann color question

   Amaranthine posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I'm getting a stethoscope for my first semester in nursing school. At first I thought about getting the pearl pink, but I don't think I want to stick out that much. The next best one (to me) is the seafoam green... there's just one problem-- most we...

9. Pre-Nursing Classes

   Amaranthine replied to CASM's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in a BSN program, finishing up my last pre-req's this semester. We have to apply to the nursing program during the last semester of these. The entry is based on GPA and TEAS score. :) I got in for next semester, but we have to keep a C in the cla...

10. TEAS question..Please answer

    Amaranthine replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I was bad at math, but I made a little study guide from the TEAS book. I studied that and worked out problems for a while, and I ended up getting a 90% on the math section. I took version 5, so it may be different, but the actual TEAS study book had ...

11. Anyone buy their own anatomy models?

    Amaranthine replied to pdxmomazon's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I actually considered it, but a lot of them were really expensive. I didn't have time to go to open labs much at all and I still managed to make an A in both labs. Here's what I did- I made it ONE day to open lab for first semester, then I took pictu...

12. Spring 2011 Hopefuls!!

    Amaranthine replied to Noel1221's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Maybe I was just freaking out a little because I was nervous... but everyone got their letter three days before I did and in those few days I thought that they had lost my application or I messed up and they threw it out. lol It was only a few days, ...

13. Spring 2011 Hopefuls!!

    Amaranthine replied to Noel1221's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hopefully tomorrow I'll get my letter. A lot of people got theirs today and I'm so nervous! I think I will probably get in based on their scores/GPAs, but I don't want to get my hopes up... AHHH! I just want to know already!

14. Pre-TEAS assessment vs. actual TEAS test

    Amaranthine replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Actually, for the version V at least, I was able to take each online practice test twice. The questions didn't change, though.

15. Lots of people changing their minds last minute

    Amaranthine replied to Tyra21's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hmmm... too bad many people don't know this. All I hear during class is "Oh we'll get jobs so quickly... blah blah blah shortage.... blah blah blah." Even two of my professors (micro and sociology) who have mentioned nursing seem to think there is st...
