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

    Amaranthine replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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 Students

    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--...

  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...

  4. Scrub sizes (pants)

    Amaranthine posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, 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...

  5. Scrub sizes (pants)

    Amaranthine replied to Amaranthine's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, 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...

  6. Littmann color question

    Amaranthine posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, 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...

  7. 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:...

  8. Littmann color question

    Amaranthine replied to Amaranthine's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, 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...

  9. Pre-Nursing Classes

    Amaranthine replied to CASM's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  10. TEAS question..Please answer

    Amaranthine replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  11. Anyone buy their own anatomy models?

    Amaranthine replied to pdxmomazon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  12. Spring 2011 Hopefuls!!

    Amaranthine replied to Noel1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  13. Spring 2011 Hopefuls!!

    Amaranthine replied to Noel1221's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

  14. Pre-TEAS assessment vs. actual TEAS test

    Amaranthine replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

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

  15. Vaccination question

    Amaranthine posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't been accepted into nursing school yet (hopefully I'll get that letter in October), but several vaccinations are required. How long do these take? I really have no idea what shots I've...

  16. Lots of people changing their minds last minute

    Amaranthine replied to Tyra21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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)...

  17. Vaccination question

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

    Thank you all!

  18. OVERWHELMED....need advice!!

    Amaranthine replied to EatLoveNurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should meet with your professor and go over your test to see what you were doing wrong. This will really help you study more efficiently. Oh, and I don't think it's an indicator of how well you do...

  19. Who's taken the teas v?

    Amaranthine replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My pre-nursing advisor informed me that only about 10 made 80 or above out of about 400 or 500 people. She stated that most made from 65-75. Either people at my school were totally unprepared, or......

  20. Some tips for Students (new or exp!)

    Amaranthine replied to whitneyLOL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Studystack.com looks pretty awesome. :)

  21. Piercings While Taking CNA Course & Clinical?

    Amaranthine replied to epicshorky's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a nape piercing. I loved that thing... so much. However, I want to be an RN even more so. If you really are serious about having a job in the medical field, just take them out. If you cover them...

  22. Pre-TEAS assessment vs. actual TEAS test

    Amaranthine replied to ChervRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took TEAS V and did both online practice tests. My score on the actual test was about 5 points higher than what I made on the practice tests on the first time. I say this because the second time I...

  23. Math assesment test...OMG

    Amaranthine replied to Jillian01520's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Usually if you have to take a math like that, it's for the best. It will help out in the long run for any other math related courses. Otherwise, you'd be thrown into something you aren't well prepared...

  24. A and P 2 Anatomy

    Amaranthine replied to proudmommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my A&P classes we had power points, but we were still expected to know everything from the book. Go through the chapters and find the most important parts, or those that seem important. Reading...

  25. 4.0 pre reqs

    Amaranthine replied to JonB04's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's not hard as long as you are determined and motivated to get good grades. You have to put in a lot of time to study. I haven't talked to my friends as much as I did before taking classes, but it...
