    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Does that include general ed prereqs that one might not have needed with the ADN?? I have a friend who is an ADN going for her BSN and she has been taking general ed classes before she can apply, that...

    Took Teas did not pass

    lifelearningrn replied to momofbbg's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Applications were due on September 1st and I got my acceptance email on October 31st-- so around 2 months. The process was easy actually- first you have to apply to get into TWU as a general student....

    Took Teas did not pass

    lifelearningrn replied to momofbbg's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I got accepted for Spring. I don't think it will hurt to take it again if you think you'll do better the second time around. You should call and ask if they look at the highest score or the latest- if...

    My odds of getting into a traditional BSN?

    lifelearningrn replied to C.J.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would probably be competitive. You need to check about transferability of classes, and make sure you have all the classes they require prior to admission. (Two years of various general ed courses...

    Took Teas did not pass

    I had a lower TEAS V and a slightly lower pre-req GPA and got in. Did you retake any of the sciences? It seems they weigh that

    Took Teas did not pass

    lifelearningrn replied to momofbbg's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took it twice, and to be honest, I don't know which score they looked at. (I did worse the second time).. what did you get? At TWU the lowest score you can have is 64 and UTMB it's a 58. Meaning...

    My odds of getting into a traditional BSN?

    lifelearningrn replied to C.J.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    TWU- Houston here. I hear Cali is impossible right now. Is relocating a possibility for you? Your GPA is not bad, and depending on your grades for first attempt in the A/P classes, micro, nutrition...

    Hypothyroidism & Nursing School?

    lifelearningrn replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    Make sure you use something with no dyes or perfumes- those dry out skin! lol I like Cetaphil or Eucerin. (the generic Cetaphil works fine) One of the best ways to make it work is take a shower/bath...

    Hypothyroidism & Nursing School?

    lifelearningrn replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Students

    Thyroid meds are super-duper cheap- don't worry about the insurance thing. Hypothyroid is easily treatable, and should not affect your nursing school in the slightest. Don't worry about it. I've...

    HELP PLEASE !!!!!!!! MICROBIOLOGYw/LAB ONLINE FAST

    lifelearningrn replied to sdlane's topic in General Students

    I don't see how virtual labs are at all equivalent to an in-person lab.. Getting a full lab kit at home is a little different, if you're doing exactly what you would in person- but even micro I don't...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    I see what you're saying.. in my program, there are classes that need to be completed at the university. There were classes that I took for my AA that I didn't need for the university program- but...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    I think I'm seeing the disconnect between our opinions. You're talking about ADN compared to a B.S. in like, communications- or other general field? While you're right that an ADN has more hours...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    No, I don't need to see your transcripts.. but it obviously does matter where you go to school in this case, because a most CC ADN program's hours are in the low 70s. And BSN programs are around 120....

    I am trying not to give up! I gotta keep pushing! You ever feel like this?

    lifelearningrn replied to dreamofnursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You need As in 4 classes? Absolutely, it's possible! Work hard, even break them up into two semesters if need be. You'll do

    Vodka tampons?!?

    lifelearningrn replied to Christy1019's topic in Emergency

    You've never seen teens cut themselves? Attempt suicide? How about anorexia? Teens do ALL KINDS of destructive things to their bodies. As far as subtle-- I wasn't being subtle. It bothers me when...

    Vodka tampons?!?

    lifelearningrn replied to Christy1019's topic in Emergency

    I'm thinking it was a direct quote from the teenager. I have many preteen/teens in my life (children of friends, mine are still young) that use this word CONSTANTLY and I hate it. I see it all the...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    I'd be ******, without a doubt.. I normal B.S. degree is only 10 or so hours more than your associate's degree program. Do you mind if I ask where you're going to

    Taking Teas V on Monday, last minute advice?

    lifelearningrn replied to Jamiek33's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Use your time wisely.. the biggest reason I didn't do well on the TEAS is not managing my time and not getting to answer all the questions in a section. The first time I did it, it was the math...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    I wonder how much of it isn't just about magnet status- but also because they no longer want to pay ADNs to get their BSN 'in ten' like they've been doing? I mean, rather than pay for that they just...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Is that including your clinical hours? I'm speaking direct college course credit hours for degrees- not including clinicals.. S if you're adding 40 hours of clinicals the BSN would be roughly 160...

    "life isn't that bad"---- I suppose you've walked in the shoes of all teenagers to actually say that? Just because YOUR life wasn't that bad, and YOU wouldn't have thought to do stupid ****, doesn't...

    Associate Degree program a thing of the past...

    lifelearningrn replied to ashburns4ever's topic in General Students

    Aren't they for people with previous B.S. degrees? They stuff a LOT more into one semester than general programs, I guess the assumption is that post-grad students have their study habits well honed...

    Violated NCLEX rules

    lifelearningrn replied to virtouso's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'm surprised they didn't make the phone call policy VERY clear from the get go.. Even for the TEAS V, they locked my stuff up in a locker for the duration. We were required to turn OFF our phones...
