    aclays replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I've been learning from Daytonite for years after her passing and only just discovered why she seemed to have disappeared from allnurses. RIP Daytonite, I appreciate your hard work for students and...

    aclays replied to redstepchild's topic in Nursing News

    so far skyscape is the number one free app I've found for looking up drugs and procedures. I've used medscape, webmd, epocrates and a couple others. None of them

  3. Clinical - A Place for Your Things

    aclays replied to Deredain's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Every place will be different. I always took my backpack to every clinical, and would leave my valuables in it. Sometimes I'd leave my backpack in the staff room, sometimes right next next to the...

  4. Married Male Nursing Students

    aclays replied to exit96's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My wife and I got into nursing school during the same semester, so we've gone through our clinicals and classes together. It's been a pretty great experience, she's a very dependable study

  5. Nurses see us coming for clinical and RUN away from us. Irritating!

    aclays replied to thawk28's topic in General Students

    Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience. We have had the opposite experience for our rotations which may or may not be due to the fact that it's a teaching hospital. All of the nurses, docs etc...

  6. Who's taken the teas v?

    aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My experience was that the math was exactly the same, they'd just changed the numbers. I got 100% on the math and I owe it entirely to the ATI study

    aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    While I don't know anything about the PAX review book, I do have experience with the official TEAS Study Guide that I purchased from Barnes and Noble for about $30. I studied the guide an hour or so a...

  8. Who's taken the teas v?

    aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Study harder on the material in that book. I spent a week focusing on that ATI TEAS V study guide and got a 99th percentile score. I didn't see a single thing on the test that wasn't covered in the...

  9. I can't get into any nursing schools!

    aclays replied to b00ger's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school only had about 120 applicants for 70 spots, but I was apparently on the bottom of the acceptance list with a 3.6 GPA (on ~10 core classes that they use for acceptance, my overall GPA was a...

  10. Who's taken the teas v?

    aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I spent 4 days poring over the official ati study guide, took both of the practice tests that came in the back of the book, and then just went for it. I ended up with a 99th percentile score. I didn't...

  11. Student thinking about joining Army reserve / ROTC

    aclays replied to aclays's topic in Government, Military

    I don't mind being deployed to Afghanistan a couple times, but I want to know if I can guarantee it will be as a nurse and not as a soldier. If the government pays for me to get a BSN they'll want me...

    aclays posted a topic in Government, Military

    Hi folks, I'm a first semester BSN student thinking about joining the Army Reserve and ROTC program. The picture painted by my recruiter is enticing, but I'd like some outside input. According to a...

    aclays replied to RNHealer08's topic in Health, Stress Management

    My wife and I are both nursing students and have an 18 month old. He's in daycare until 5 and goes to bed around 8:30, we just make sure to spend those few hours with him, and spend the rest of the...

  15. Who's taken the teas v?

    aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    No, but the questions on TEAS 5 are identical TYPES as the ones in the official ATI study guide. So basically if you understand the concept to ALL the questions in that study guide, you have no excuse...

    aclays replied to Devie06's topic in General Students

    http://www.wesnorman.com/ - found this link awhile back while trying to study up. It's got some good information and is worth

  17. Does being a guy have any affect on being accepted into your schools nursing program?

    aclays replied to cjcsoon2bnp's topic in Male Nursing Students

  18. is oxygen considered a medication?.. what do you think?

    aclays replied to lvnnars1's topic in General Students

    Our professors tell us that oxygen is considered a drug because you need a physicians order to give it to a patient. Assuming that is the case nationwide, then the argument is settled. Whether or not...

  19. Anything that can help get in?

    aclays replied to BADDLEGG's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ask your advisor how they calculate entrance scores. For my school it was something like 50% comes from your grades, 30% comes from the TEAS, and 20% came from experience / volunteer work. They had a...

  20. Who's taken the teas v?

    aclays replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The practice booklet is essential. It comes with two paper practice exams which are also very helpful. I used the study guide straight for about a week and ended up with a 99th percentile score. I can...

    aclays replied to Butterfly3001's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    aclays posted a topic in General Students

    I'm having trouble being consistent with the phase 1 systolic pressure. Using the same stethoscope as other students I'm often getting readings that are 6-8 below what they are hearing. I usually hear...

  24. What is harder A&P or Micro?

    aclays replied to aubreyeve's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Entirely depends on the professor. We had choices of professors that made A&P difficult unnecessarily and professors that made it fairly easy. Our options for microbiology were the same way. One...
