  1. Worried about the future of ICU nursing

    Forminsko replied to Telenurse1990's topic in Critical Care

    This trend is alive and well in the hospital where I work, too, though there are a lot of veteran nurses on my MICU. It's like you said: the new nurses coming in aspire to NP, etc. I think it has to...

  2. ICU floating to stepdowns/magnet status

    Forminsko replied to lisacammel's topic in Critical Care

    May I ask what city you work in? That sounds just awful to me. I've worked virtually my entire nursing career in the ICU. I would be totally lost on the med-surg floor. It's a totally different type...

  3. Advice for TEAS V

    Forminsko posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I have been studying the ATI study guide for TEAS V and I did quite a bit better on the second practice test in that book than I did a week before on the first one. But tonight I paid for one of...

  4. Just passed nclex-RN in 75 questions - tips for everyone to pass on the first time!

    Forminsko replied to Yoshimitsu's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Now THAT is a useful post about how to approach preparation for the NCLEX. I am not sure I will be able to follow all your advice about how to prepare, but I am going to try. I can't thank you...

  5. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Forminsko replied to Drea1713's topic in California Nursing

    @Snookie: Thanks so much for the words of encouragement (and sympathy!) I took two classes this semester so I'll be golden for the Spring with 6 more points for those and 1 point for having applied...

  6. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Forminsko replied to Drea1713's topic in California Nursing

    I got my letter of "rejection" today. I missed by one point. If I said I was not upset, I'd be lying, but I can't do any more that what I did. We'll see what happens for the Spring term. Best...

  7. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Forminsko replied to Drea1713's topic in California Nursing

    Snookiejc: Thanks! You really are so sweet and supportive. I am actually super close to the cut-off this time. I still have some dim hope that enough people will decline that a few people under...

  8. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Forminsko replied to Drea1713's topic in California Nursing

    Congrats Cabion & Snookie...I am really happy for you--I know how long this process is! Alas, it doesn't look good for me this semester. I'm taking Sociology & Speech this semester and...

  9. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Forminsko replied to Drea1713's topic in California Nursing

    I don't get why different people are getting different answers. Why was I told that they've already started sending out letters when "cabion 666" was told they're not ready to go out? I would love...

  10. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Forminsko replied to Drea1713's topic in California Nursing

    I just called County and was told that they've already started sending out letters...Has anyone heard? The woman would not tell me what the lowest points would be for acceptance into the program, so...

  11. Los Angeles County School of Nursing

    Forminsko replied to Drea1713's topic in California Nursing

    I followed this thread all the way through and I hope it can keep going so we can all start hearing what the cut-off points are, etc. I heard the cut-off last semester was 80 and I have a...

  12. Fall 2011 Los Angeles County College of Nusring

    Forminsko replied to starry01's topic in California Nursing

    Actually, I called them at the beginning of May and--unless someone has heard differently since then--they told me that May 15th was a little early. It will probably be, "closer to the beginning or...

  13. Teas V Help

    Forminsko replied to JNick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I got my results for the TEAS V and I got an 88%. I was thrilled with it, but have to also say that I studied incredibly hard for the test. A lot of people on this site talk about how easy the...

  14. Teas V Help

    Forminsko replied to JNick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did your test go? Where did you take

  15. Who's taken the teas v?

    Forminsko replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Buy the book. The sample test online is closer to the real test, but EVERYTHING that is tested is in the book. Everything. I left the test and thought for sure they had asked science questions that...

  16. Who's taken the teas v?

    Forminsko replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    No. Not the same questions. Well...I don't know. Not that I was able to recall. If it happened, it was VERY incidental. Not most of the questions, at

  17. Who's taken the teas v?

    Forminsko replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Get the ATI Study Manual. There are two practice tests in the book. But for myself, after I showed a lot of improvement between taking that first one and the second, I almost said, "Forget it!" and...

  18. Teas V Exam

    Forminsko replied to Mariacookies's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I just took it the other day and I have to say, no one has it down better than POKEMON. Listen to POKEMON!!! Don't do what he/she says not to do and DO what he/she says to do. It's totally the way...

  19. Teas V Help

    Forminsko replied to JNick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did your TEAS

  20. Who's taken the teas v?

    Forminsko replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The place I took it administered it in the paper/pencil version--which is nice when it comes to going back and checking work, etc.--so we won't get our results for a week. Pain in the gluteus. This...

  21. Who's taken the teas v?

    Forminsko replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took it today and it was UNBELIEVABLY hard. To put it in perspective, I got A's in all pre-requisite classes for nursing school. I have studied diligently for a month and a half--took 2 practice...

  22. Advice for TEAS V

    Forminsko replied to Forminsko's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thanks, gc1010. I'm going back to my percentages--the practice test does break it down--and going from there. I made only a couple mistakes that I would term "stupid mistakes." One on reading, one...

  23. Teas V Help

    Forminsko replied to JNick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't tell you how much I needed to hear that. Thank you,

  24. How I Studied for the TEAS

    Forminsko replied to on eagles wings's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thank you so much for the break-down. I am sorely behind on the deeper knowledge of Chemistry and some of the other things. I was surprised on the practice test how in depth the questions were. Off...

  25. How I Studied for the TEAS

    Forminsko replied to on eagles wings's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I'm taking the test Friday morning. I've been studying so diligently and am at a bit of a saturation point. This was exactly the list I needed to put things...
