  1. rounding up grades

    mangopeach replied to ro2878's topic in General Students

    Care plans or other written assignments are not taken into consideration for grades. Care Plans only matter for clinicals. Clinicals are pass/fail. Our final grades are based on our written exams. A...

    mangopeach replied to ro2878's topic in General Students

    Nope no rounding. Passing is 75. If you have 74.9, that means you

  3. Studying for finals is anyone else with me?

    mangopeach replied to heavenbound's topic in General Students

    I'll officially start reviewing for finals starting oh, in the next hour. Although I have been doing that by way of studying for the ATI exit that I took today. Scored a level 3 on that, woohooo! Now...

    mangopeach replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Well I just wanna say I love nursing school too! Wrapping up my first semester and its been a roller coaster ride of emotions but I love it! I also went in with a lot of fear after hearing how...

  5. Internet access for clinicals...will I need I-phone?

    mangopeach replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I'm too cheap to spend that kind of money on a phone. I do just fine without

  6. Could it be...don't have to take Chemistry? :)

    mangopeach replied to GirlDotson's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just make sure that its not a pre-req for another class. Chem is not a pre-req for my school either, but if you do your pre-reqs at my school, you end up doing chem anyway. Its a pre-req for A&P....

  7. I'm going to be a Nurse BUT.....(please read, need ur comments)

    mangopeach replied to Selfrespectforwomen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd suggest taking a few classes before jumping into taking the TEAS. You can do anything you set your mind to if you work hard and prepare for it. Given what you posted, I don't know if you are...

    mangopeach replied to angelah11's topic in General Students

    The groups doing the 2 8s will be finished with clinicals for the semester before the ones doing 12s. In the end it will be the same total number of hours. Just finished at a different

    Haven't done em yet. Will start next month. Our first semester we did 2 8hrs. For next semester we had the option to choose 2 8s or 1 12 per week. I chose to do the 12 hr. So we'll see how it goes. I...

  10. Painted dark pic for me...

    mangopeach replied to shabookittie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The requirements vary with each school so see if you would be allowed to take the TEAS V again at another school. My school only allows you to take the TEAS V twice, but I've heard of other schools...

  11. Took pre-requisites 17 years ago - should I retake?

    mangopeach replied to tealvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you decide to not take A&P again. Go to youtube and look up Prof Marian Diamond. She's a part of the reason I got As. I learned so much more from her than I did my from my prof. Wished I had...

  12. Took pre-requisites 17 years ago - should I retake?

    mangopeach replied to tealvr's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If they were high grades, & they are not expired, I would not retake them. You can refresh your memory on your own time. Yeah a lot has changed over those years, including the fact that you have...

  13. Should I take these classes over?

    mangopeach replied to Ellis02136's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No don't assume that most community colleges do the point system. You really ought to contact the specific programs you want to apply to. Different programs do different things. I'm in an ADN program...

  14. I just failed nursing school

    mangopeach replied to jrsygirl's topic in General Students

    Thank you for saying that. I wrote a whole post and erased it. It can be such a hot button topic and I didn't want to take the focus off the OP. But I completely agree. I have confidence in myself. I...

  15. I just failed nursing school

    mangopeach replied to jrsygirl's topic in General Students

    Don't give up! Right now, really try to focus on the class that you have left. As someone who is also non religious, I understand how you feel right now. I went through that process myself. Yeah,...

  16. Studying Issues

    mangopeach replied to EarthhAngel2013's topic in General Students

    Are you getting enough sleep? If I'm tired, I can't study. I just can't. I have to make sure I am getting adequate rest. My brain functions much better when I've had enough rest. Secondly. Figure out...

  17. PCT after second semester

    mangopeach posted a topic in General Students

    Anyone started working as a PCT after 2nd semester? I did not plan to work through nursing school. I really wanted to just focus on doing well in school. I'm thinking about working as a PCT after I'm...

  18. Crap...now what?

    mangopeach replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think there should be a practical exam. What would there be a practical exam for? The basic skills that you learn in most nursing programs? Honestly they are not that difficult to learn and...

  19. I want to be a nurse, BUT..

    mangopeach replied to pre-ASUstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you really want to help people, then eventually you will learn to deal with these things. You might surprise yourself! This is my first semester in nursing school and I've had 2 situations that I...

  20. What is harder A&P or Micro?

    mangopeach replied to aubreyeve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Micro was the easiest to me. I got As in all but with much less effort for Micro. I did not spend nearly half the time studying for Micro that I did for

  21. Atlanta hiring new grads

    mangopeach replied to maryland88's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Thanks Do or Do Not. I do plan to work nights when I'm done with school. I'm single, no small kids and no life, LOL, so its not a problem. Plus I need the shift differential to help pay off my...

  23. Im panicking =[

    mangopeach replied to vccorscc's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Been there done that!! I think I celebrated my acceptance for a whopping 24 hrs. After that, the doubts started setting in. I'm at the end of my first semester. 1 Lecture left and then finals. Has it...

  24. Crap...now what?

    mangopeach replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wait, Is 79 failing for your A&P course? Do you still have more exams left. If your school uses the standard grading system and you still have other exams or finals, you are really close to a B so...

    mangopeach replied to PSUAlum2103's topic in General Students
