I am in my second week of A&P 1, an accelerated 4 week course, 5 hours a day m-f. I was very nervous about it because everyone says how hard it is but I am not finding it difficult at all. I feel so much better. I am scheduled to go into A&P ...

Being a cna is different than being a nurse, so I think I get what you mean. I am a mom with 3 kids, 2,6 and 8. It is hard. I think you should consider moving in with your mom so you can quit your job or at least cut back. It will all pay off in the ...
All I see, hear and read are negative things about nursing school. From endless hours of studying, never seeing your children, broken relationships, instructors that fail you the last week of school...and it goes on. Is there anyone who is finished o...
Are new grads getting hired in south FL (west palm beach in particular)? My school's student services claims a 100% placement rate right now for nurse grads. Just wonder if that is accurate.

Also, as I hinted to before, my local cc has a reputation for trying to flunk people out, making students cry and clinicals and so on. Their attrition rate in the nursing program in ridiculous. Like 50 people start 15 finish. Not a big fan of those o...

I believe everything is subjective. Some people struggled with prereqs, others breezed thru. Some had to take the TEAS/Net more than once while some aced it. What is easy for some is challenging to others. I have to agree with Thesquire, students wh...

I wondered about this as well. I think it has to do with the fact the private universities are for profit so they try to do everything they can to keep you in school and help you pass so they get their $$. State schools and CC arent as concerned with...
2bnurseTV replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing
I believe we ARE answering the question by saying that private universities are NOT always easier to get in. Even if the wait list is shorter you may not meet the requirements. For example in my area the CC will accept you if you have a 2.5 gpa or hi...

I just read alot of posts that seem to imply that. This one just seemed to have that undertone as well. I just want people to understand that people chose different programs for lots of different reasons. Some private colleges do just as well or bett...
2bnurseTV replied to mell260's topic in Pre-Nursing
I have to disagree with this. I am attending a private university nursing program and thier standards are much higher than the local cc. The waiting list is shorter for this reason and the higher cost (of course). It bothers me how many people assum...
Does anyone know if new graduate nurses (paticularly ADN-RN) are finding jobs in Florida? I am in the West Palm Beach area. I keep hearing that new graduates up north are having a hard time but I dont know about here.
I am amazed at the amount of people asking for questions and answers from the TEAS. Does anyone else think this is CHEATING? I spent alot of time studying and I am offended by people trying to take the lazy way out. I got a good score and I am proud ...

I was not talking about content, I was talking about specific questions and answers. I was fine with giving advice like know your elements or review the hydrologic cycle, that is fine. What I dont think is ok is saying there was a question that said....
Has anyone taken this test. My college uses it as the entrance test but I just read somewhere that is was an IQ test. I scored a 31 but I dont know what that means, they said it was good. Does anyone know how to read these scores?
I am sorry to say this but as posted in other threads, giving questions and answers is CHEATING. If you can not pass without cheating then you might want to cosider another profession. The purpose of the TEAS is to weed out the people who wont be abl...
I did take a cna course last year but decided not to get certified. The basic skills will be a refresher for that. I went ahead and purchased them. I got the full set on Amazon for $70. I figured that works out to $35 each of the two months for the r...
the set I am looking at getting has begining skills (cna type stuff) and intermediate skills (IV, wound care, ng tubes...). I want to get it because I will have a 2 month wait from the time I finish gen eds to the start of core. I thought it would be...

At my school, you spend ONE MONTH in each gen ed class. So you only take one at a time but super fast paced. I like it though because you can focus on one thing at a time.
2bnurseTV replied to friendlysmile's topic in Pre-Nursing
That is a very good score, it means you did better than 90% of the people taking the test nation wide. Your science score is also impressive. Good job!
