  1. Some advice to student nurses

    Hobbes02 replied to dixiebelleRN's topic in General Students

    Congrats on the new job! Luckily our teachers use NCLEX style questions on their own exams, so most of the people who complete the program pass the NCLEX on their first try. Regardless, I'd still like...

  2. Not used to getting B's...

    Hobbes02 replied to ErinRN2B's topic in General Students

    I have my first round of tests next week and I've been mentally preparing myself for B's because I know it's a completely different style of testing from what I've spent most of my school life...

  4. Requiered classes to get into Nursing school.

    Hobbes02 replied to Yaussyg1525's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good eyes! I didn't even notice that they offered an ASN program as well, I just clicked on the BSN at the top of the page. OP - between the two of us we got you covered, glad to help.

  5. Requiered classes to get into Nursing school.

    Hobbes02 replied to Yaussyg1525's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Normally I'd tell you to check the schools website or to call and ask to speak with an adviser, but seeing as how I'm pretty bored I did some of the legwork for you.. From my minimal research here, it...

  6. How many nursing programs did/are you applying to?

    Hobbes02 replied to mariposabella's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How confident are you that you'll be accepted into one of the schools you applied to? If you are at all unsure about whether or not you'll get in, I would apply to a couple more. You can always turn...

  7. Teas score?and accepted??

    Hobbes02 replied to JLV5646's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    With a 74, I'd take it over; maybe you can meet up with someone who already took it and did well and have them go over things with you. Btw, this thread already exists.....

  8. digital voice recorder 4 class

    Hobbes02 replied to eternalbride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have the Olympus VN-6200PC and it's easily the best thing I ever got for school. It has 5 folders (use one for each class) and can store up to 444 hours of audio. I record anything I think might be...

  9. Acceptance letter

    Hobbes02 replied to naeemah123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You're worried because you haven't heard anything in 2 weeks? Most of us have had to wait months before hearing anything; for comparison, mine took about 9 weeks. Call your school and ask; they should...

  10. To all the people accepted to CT CC RN programs...

    Hobbes02 replied to moorin's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    This varies from school to school; some of them rely much more heavily on the TEAS than others and some of them only look as certain sections of the TEAS. If you really want to know, call the school...

  11. Organic chemistry anybody?

    Hobbes02 replied to j450n's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    funny you should mention this.. my Psychology professor recommended this website to our class just the other day; I wrote it in my notebook but pretty much forgot about it. I'll have to check it

  12. Cheap textbook sites?

    Hobbes02 replied to wannabe an rn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    http://www.bigwords.com/ checks other website prices for you, I use it every semester and it works

  13. Pathophysiology in the Summer??? good, bad and the ugly!!

    Hobbes02 replied to gb8852's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Take it in the summer! It will be a lot of studying but you get it done and over with quickly. From my experience, as long as you put the time in, people generally do better in the intersession...

  14. Off topic...but is this illegal?!

    Hobbes02 replied to vccorscc's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did you get any kind of paperwork or employee handbook when you agreed to work for the company? If so, read it very carefully. If the whole point system is laid out in there as you're telling it to...

  15. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

    Hobbes02 replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Well, unfortunately I do not have a paid subscription so I can no longer edit my post (us non-paying members only get 5 minutes to edit a post), otherwise I would. However, I do appreciate the honesty...

  16. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

    Hobbes02 replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You may get in based on a good TEAS score/GPA but if you think that being a male is going to give you a 'bump' then you're mistaken. I believe that would constitute discrimination and I doubt your...

  17. anybody from SOUTHERN?

    Hobbes02 replied to fd11's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Yes you will have to take the TEAS, unless you already have a bachelors degree and go the accelerated route. From what I've been told they don't have to take the TEAS, although that program is even...

    Thanks, I got my letter today, I'm in! Now I just have to finish my prerequisites before August and I'll be good to go for this fall. Good Luck to anyone else looking to get in, maybe I'll see you...

  20. Microbiology in a summer semester

    Hobbes02 replied to rntobe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took it over the winter and it was crazy; 4mo of material crammed into 11 days including 3 lecture exams, 2 lab exams, and a final! I wouldn't suggest it if you have a full-time job or any other...

  21. Eek!!!

    Hobbes02 replied to cupcake231's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What's worse is when your friends get their letters but you haven't yet! That's where I stand right now and all I can to is keep checking the

  23. A&P

    Hobbes02 replied to ashbarn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, that sounds like a prep course to me too.. Then again my school doesn't even call A&P A&P anymore; they changed the name to Human Bio I & II for whatever reason, but it still covers...

  24. My Chances? GPA?

    Hobbes02 replied to zippy_tippy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends on the particular school, unfortunately I don't know anything about those schools you listed so I can't comment on them. ABSN programs are typically more competitive, especially these...

  25. Interview questions.. please help!

    Hobbes02 replied to Lisy108's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would try and figure out answers to questions ahead of time so you're prepared for the tougher ones. Questions like.. Why do you want to be a nurse? What are your strengths/weaknesses? How will you...
