    kabooski replied to Tenshi_No_Shikatsu's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I've been wodering the same thing and it's very frustrating not getting a clear answer on this. I guess it has to do with people getting chemistry and physics mixed up. Force, acceleration, velocity,...

  10. TEAS V~ Overwhelming

    kabooski replied to Jmoore1975's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Which McGraw Hill study guide? If it is the "Nursing Entrance Exam" then of course it will be overwhelming. That covers the NET, HESI and everything under the sun. Get the ATI version V study quide....

  11. Taking the TEAS again for the 3rd and final attempt....are they the exact same test?

    kabooski replied to KimmieLaLa's topic in TEAS Exam Help

  12. TEAS Help

    kabooski replied to grneyes908's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    darn, sorry to hear that. I take mine this coming Monday, I'm concerned about the science and getting odd-ball questions on psychics and quantum mechanics. Did you have any: "work, energy, force,...

  13. All of a sudden an ASN is no good anymore

    kabooski replied to pattyslattery's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    "Nursing" needs to move away from the vocational mentality. CNA needs to be a 6 month course instead of two weeks; LVN 1 year diploma and LPN 2 year (AS degree) and RN should be a 4 year degree....

  15. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    kabooski replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Likeability is understandable tho; part of the job includes customer service, so a person that can do the job in a robotic way, but has a hard time making that personal connection with patients or...

  16. Please quit wasting my time: Interview Advice from Hiring Manager

    kabooski replied to Teacher Sue's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    So if you went straight from high school to college and never worked a job, that is better than an older GN with a job history? What if you disprove of a previous line of work? Is that reason enough...

  17. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    kabooski replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    Hospitals like to brag and even "not profit" ones make ALOT of profit. So here in Central Florida, the ADN will be a thing of the past. My school announced that they are doing away with the ADN...

  18. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    kabooski replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    By what I've heard, new grads start out pretty close to those that have worked for 5,10,15,20+ years New grads get paid like $21-22hr here (BSN) and only $3-$5 (give or take) an hour more for those...

  19. Comparing A Nurses' Salary

    kabooski replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    30K to 60K is such a wide net, which means this is nothing more than a recruiting drive. I predict starting wages to stay frozen, if not actually decline. Its all about supply vs demand. There is too...

  20. What do OR nurses do anyway?

    kabooski replied to greyL's topic in Operating Room

  21. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    kabooski replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    No you don't need to go to "college" to be a "Nurse" many local county owned vocational schools still offer diplomas. You do to be a "professional" one. Alot of what was once vocational has been...

  22. Everyone wants to be a nurse...

    kabooski replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I constantly hear this. I'm trying to figure out what other health care professionals (not vocational) in hospitals do you consider not be "caring, assertive, and passionate"

  23. Everyone wants to be a nurse...

    kabooski replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    One, the focus is on STEM. The government is pushing people to choose degrees where there is a perceived demand and it is because the stats of students who have defaulted on the student loans are from...

  24. I Don't Know How To Study :(

    kabooski replied to peppapig123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It all depends, there are some people that can absorb/remember the lectures very well and do great with little reviewing before an exam. I call these people passive learners. I'm an active learner,...

  25. Failed nursing school but didn't give up!

    kabooski replied to NursingLove4all's topic in General Students
