  1. TMCC/WNC Hopeful?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Lauraa's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Congrats! I am a 2nd year at WNC. Good to have the 4.0 because if you can get A's then you will figure out how to study for Nursing School. It has been way different than what it took to get through...

  2. What was your first year of nursing school like?

    WanderingSagehen replied to linzjane88's topic in General Students

    Wow,.... just finished my first year and I am wiped out. What a wild ride. It goes fast but not while you are in the thick of it. Don't spoil the fun of having a baby with nursing school. You will...

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

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

    Have you taken your TEAS test? Sometimes students who have old science classes don't do as well. And, yes you will get to review A/P every semester if you end up not having to retake pre-req's. In my...

  5. How are the new SPR 2011 students doing?

    WanderingSagehen replied to heavenbound's topic in General Students

    Not complaining that is my new goal for the semester. I am so sick of everyone complaining about everything we do in our nursing program. I am now complaining about complaining.... Semester is tough...

  6. How hard is First semester in Nursing school?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Pinkster's topic in General Nursing

    Wonder how that all turned out. Sounded like she needed to just wait a year and get the pre-reqs done. A/p 1 &2 in the summer sounds intense- We all are guilty of lacking patience for our

  8. Wnc

    WanderingSagehen replied to gabby27's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Just an update on WNC.... Only those with 18 or 19 points got in and one of the 18's was on the wait list. Do the math from the nursing department program and figure out for yourself how many points...

  9. What is so bad about STATS?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Kamdyn's topic in General Students

    I think most of the posts missed the point... Its not stats that is bad but the fact that she/he are taking it with first year nursing classes. Its a requirement for the BSN program after one finishes...

  10. 1st semester book costs

    WanderingSagehen replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    Sounds like the main difference in the pricey school is not waiting to get in. Taking pre-requisites while waiting to get in helps us to decide whether we really want to be in this profession. (or at...

  11. 1st semester book costs

    WanderingSagehen replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    OMG- I'll be lucky to spend $10k for the whole deal! Might want to take a business course to manage those finances when you become an

  12. Sharing your survival tips--How do you prepare each semester?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    I was given the advice to enjoy my summer. I have been out riding my bike like crazy. I'll be hitting a couple of spin classes each week to get a great condensed workout. I cleaned the "Tornado" room...

  13. 1st semester book costs

    WanderingSagehen replied to azhic13's topic in General Students

    I don't use the school bookstore ever! (oh, I had to purchase a lab book for micro last semester) Amazon has great prices and you can get a new book at a used price, way below the used price at the...

  14. Trying to avoid undesirable CNA duties

    WanderingSagehen replied to girtenbt's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    There is nothing better than knowing a patient is freshly bathed. Your fears might be that you haven't learned the techniques to make it bearable or even enjoyable. The CNA's have all the practical...

  15. What is expected from ATI TEAS Test?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Chele415's topic in General Students

    I don't remember having to do any conversions. You take nothing with you. Just your brain. Do the online practice test and you'll see what is on the test. (the exact format) You'll need the scratch...

  16. Any tips for running a great study group?

    WanderingSagehen replied to rzyzzy's topic in General Students

    I tried a couple of study groups and generally I found that half the people who want them actually study. If you can find students who are actually studying then you all will benefit. If the students...

  17. Why don't programs take into consideration anything else?

    WanderingSagehen replied to honeycakes55's topic in General Students

    A pre-requisite course provides a base line for all students so that they can interact with the same set of skills in a professional medical situation. You can't talk your way out of a bio class. If...

    WanderingSagehen replied to Leelee2's topic in General Nursing

  19. Voice Recorder Recommendation?

    WanderingSagehen replied to TXRN2B13's topic in General Students

    I love my recorder. I ride my bike and listen to the lectures. Helps me not feel guilty about fitting exercise into my busy schedule. Thanks for the "belkin" suggestion. I use a $30 recorder. Nothing...

  21. Any other pre-nursing students over 45?

    WanderingSagehen replied to aliveword's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad chanarivka770 figured out what she wanted to do. Nursing isn't for everyone. The thing that keeps me motivated is that I will actually have a marketable skill when I finish and a brain that has...

  22. Quitting nursing school before starting

    WanderingSagehen replied to goldbla19's topic in New York Nursing

    Don't stop now, the fun and work begins! The people that graduate and got jobs don't have time to be playing around on "allnurses.com", they are out working and living life! The complainers are on...

  23. What is expected from ATI TEAS Test?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Chele415's topic in General Students

    You won't find an ATI Study Guide in your student bookstore. I tried to find it used at Amazon etc. but no luck. Truly when I took the test and passed and my friends didn't, they bought the book from...

  24. What is expected from ATI TEAS Test?

    WanderingSagehen replied to Chele415's topic in General Students

    WanderingSagehen replied to Chele415's topic in General Students

    i only had a weekend to study because the ATI website sells a study book and took a couple of weeks to deliver. However the ATI website has an excellent online practice test for $30 and was worth...
