Hey congrats! i got accepted as well, and start in the fall. I'm SOOO excited! I think i might take pathophysiology next summer ... but i would've had to take about 2-3 summer classes if i didn't have most of my pre-requs done. i've never taken summer classes before and i am a bit worried how they are going to fit a semesters worth of information into a couple of weeks. Good Luck everyone!!

BrownEyes3000: If don't mind me asking what area did she go into. If i do decide to go to med school, i don't have the slightest idea what concentration to go into.

i'm considering finsihing my a.s. in nursing while i complete some of my pre-med courses. thanx for the adivice. every little bit of encouragement helps.

I've studying to become a nurse and i am going to start clinicals next spring. But lately i have been wondering about going to med school. I'm 23 with 2 kids, i don't know if it's too late to switch to pre-med. Do any of you know someone who waited to begin a pre-med program? ... i feel so undecieded i just wanted to hear some different points of view before i make a decision. thanx.

thanx! i'm going to do it monday.

so i have a question and hopefully someone can help. i want to get my own background check done before my school does it for clinicals. can i get it online? if so do u know of any safe websites i can go to? or do i have to go down to the police department? i have a stupid mis. from when i was 15 and now i'm 22. so it was 7 almost 8 years ago. thanx in advance

i'm going to transfer over to a private school from a public and they said 95% of the students there get federal aid and/or are on scholarships (academic or sports). It is pretty easy to get into, but it is a good program, i haven't heard one negative thing (besides the cost, $22,000 per year) from any of the nursing graduates. Also all but one credit doesn't transfer (micro), and one class that is not offered at the public school is all that i have left to take for general requirements. So private schools aren't all that bad, just do your homework before making a commitment.

i'm thinking about transfering from ivytech to saint francis. i have heard alot of great things from people who have graduated from there, so i was wondering if any one has went there if they think that it is worth the money (b/c it's very expensive). how competive is it? is it a good program? thanx in advance.

i'm going to go to the one in fort wayne, thanks for the help.

i'm going to transfer to saint francis from ivy tech.. do you have to have all the pre-requs done before u can start the nursing courses?? b/c i'm not done with them and the website catalog makes it seem like you can complete both at the same time. And if you don't mind tell'n me.. wut did you get on your teas test... i got a 72, but i plan on retaking it this summer.

I'm am going to switch majors from nursing to radiology, and i have to take the HESI entrance exam, I have already taken the TEAS. I've heard that HESI is also a nursing test... so I was wondering if anyone can tell if if there is a site like testpreview.com that gives practice tests? Is is similar if format to the teas?? I have plenty of time b/c i'm done done with the pre-reqs.. so i have another semester of those. any input would be helpful... thanx in advance :)

my motivation and excitement went down the tube after last semester... heres wut my skool does engl + a&p 1 + a&p 2 + psych a=30pts b=20pts c=10pts =120 teas............................................100 soo the 50 with total pts closest to 220 get in i bombed the teas last month so i have to take it again while going to school full time... my english teacher is very reluctant about giving a's (he's the english program chair-- big mistake taking his class) and it's my second time taking english b/c i got a b. so this is the only time i can retake it to count. i worked hard on my paper and got a 42/50!! nobody got an a on it.... grrrrrrr and we start a new project when we are close to finishing the previous project. i have to have an a.... [sigh] i taking a&p2.... i think every one knows how hard that class is. microbiology... i like it but this girl in my lab group thinks she knows everything b/c she took it last semester. and i'm writing two research papers!! two. i'm starting to wonder y i'm putting myself thru this, i work really hard and it seems like i'm getting nowhere... and will i ever get into the nursing program and if i'm having a hard time now can i even make it thru the nursing program... ne advice/tips... how does every one else manage everything... thanx for letting me vent

i got sick after we played with bacteria for the first time. but i still luv micro.

the hardest part was remebering all the muscles.. for some reason i couldn't get it to stick.

i have to write an investigative essay for english comp... and the hardest thing for me is to think of a good topic. it can be about anything... i just need help to think of a topic. thanx in advance!!!

no, i didn't take the practice test but i am going to before i retake it... i think that the ati one gives you 2 practice exams, but they are both exactly the same... that's wut i hear. i can tell u more after i take the pract. one this evening. thanx for the advice everyone!

thanx for the link! But I'm still confused, it says it refers to the portion of test takers from my specific type of nursing program whose scores are the same as or lower than your adjusted individual score. plz explain it to me. did i do good or bad??? should i retake it agian????

a friend of mine took the teas as well and she score an 89% which she said is in the 98%, and her program rank was 7, she thinks that - that means 6 people scored better than her in our program at our school. i scored a 72%.. and my program rank is 38. this is what my paper says: Adjusted individual total score: 72% mean-national: 72.8 mean-program: 74% percentile rank-national: 43 percentile rank-program: 38 i'm sooo confused!!!! (hardly ne one in our school score better than 92% on the teas)

i got my teas score... didn't do great. my program rank is 38... ivytech only takes 50 students?? does that mean i did good enough to get in??

I didn't do well on the science either and have to retake it again.. some ppl suggested biology4kids to me... but i also found spark notes... i've used this to help with math, but have looked at the science sections yet.. good luck on the teas!!!

i can't believe i did so bad on the teas.... i passed it... but not the score i wanted. it was the 3.0 version. so thankfull that i can retake it in 30 days. here is my take on the test: reading: pretty simple stuff. just like the ati study guide, and i had way more than enough time in this section. math: my weakest area. alot of fractions, some conversions, and i only remember it haveing 2 or 3 geometry question, some ratio and proportions, and a couple questions on finding the interest. science: really really random. on the chem, know iconic bonding, and get a basic understanding of the perodic take (they will provide the table in the test but know how many electons are in certain elements, one or two questions on that) . anatomy and phys questions were really simple... if you took a&p 101 you will do fine on those questions. english: a few spelling, but mostly grammar and punctuation. the study guide does a good job on this section as well. hope that helps!! does anyone know any good sites that i can brush up on life science or math? thanx

I don't know how to send a pm, but I did really well in A&P 1. What's your question?

sry didn't read the last response... good luck.

if LACC is not an accredited school then DON"T GO!! you won't be able to sit for the NCLEX, and those credits will not transfer to accredited universities or colleges. good luck... hope you get in other schools.

I don't know the situation that u r in.. but for me, going for my CNA before my RN is a waste of time and money (i 2 little ones and live with my parents, and i also pay for student loans).. At my school they let you apply for both LPN & RN at the same time ... if your school does the same, then that is what i would do if i were in your shoes. Good Luck!!!
