    Jmb002 replied to lovesicles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Jmb002 replied to eharper's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking a math class online (not statistics), but I do know that at my cc they have a math lab with free tutors in it to help with math problems. Just a thought, so in case you do run in to...

    Jmb002 replied to alwayssmilen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the TEAS version 4 last month and did pretty well (89.4%). I used the ATI study guide I got at the school library and supplemented that with the McGraw Hill study guide. I think the ATI was...

  9. Nursing school hard

    Jmb002 replied to Darkpk55's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can't comment on how hard nursing school is, because I am not there yet! However, that said, I do know how to study and I am sure you can get lots of advice from others on that as well. Generally...

    Jmb002 replied to ChrisUSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't have any advice, but wanted to say I think it is GREAT that you are thinking about this at your age! I never went to college right out of high school and have regretted it ever since. Now, at...

  12. How do I approach Daddy?

    Jmb002 replied to LuLutheClown's topic in General Students

    Definitely be direct. Remind him of the conversation you had and see what he says. Also, as others have said, did you apply for financial aid? Surely with your husband on a fixed income and 3...

  13. TEAS question..Please answer

    Jmb002 replied to CRNBSN18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took the TEAS IV a couple of weeks ago. The math section isn't terribly hard (although I really like math, so take that for what its worth), but there are a bunch of questions and it is timed. I...

    Jmb002 replied to SwampCat's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Way to go! Feels good doesn't it. I just took my test last week and got a very similar grade on mine! What a relief and nice boost to your self-confidence. :)

  16. Reasons why you want to be a nurse

    Jmb002 replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right after my husband and I got married (16 years ago), I got a job working in a hospital. I worked there for 12 years and LOVED it. I had never really considered being a nurse, but as the years...

  17. LPN or RN program?

    Jmb002 replied to east2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I live in Nebraska and just applied to Metro Community College in Omaha.

  18. LPN or RN program?

    Jmb002 replied to east2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I struggled with this decision as well. I ended up finding another local community college that offered classes a different way. You apply to the nursing program as a whole and start in the L.P.N....

  19. How did you get through the waiting?

    Jmb002 replied to Soon2bRN1222's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am with you. I just turned in my application for Spring 2011. The deadline was not until December 1, but I just turned mine in. I won't know until the end of December first of January to start...

  20. Looking for a "physical" nursing schools .....

    Jmb002 replied to shannond80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am guessing the 4 years was for your BSN. At the community college in my area it is 2 years, but that is for your associates not bachelors. There is a hospital in our area that offers a 4 year...

  21. Should I become an LPN or stay CNA?

    Jmb002 replied to kimmy436's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks! I was hoping that my medical knowledge (slim as it is) will give me a leg up in school. I am thinking it will definitely help in A&P and things like that since I already have the base...

  22. Should I become an LPN or stay CNA?

    Jmb002 replied to kimmy436's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I definitely think there is a market in Nebraska. I used to work at a hospital in Lincoln and have recently checked out their job page. They have pages of nursing jobs available. As far as CNAs,...

  23. Should I become an LPN or stay CNA?

    Jmb002 replied to kimmy436's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I am in Nebraska and was just offered a CNA job for $10.00 an hour. I am not 100% sure about the pay for LPN's in my area, but I think it is around $14.00 an hour. Starting for an RN is about...

  24. TEAS TEST

    Jmb002 replied to Morgana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Definitely read the TEAS thread. I read through it before my test and it helped me a ton. Take your time but be aware of the time limit. The only one I came close to was math. I had like 3 minutes...
