    Accepted into program...needing advice.

    Exhaustipated replied to klynn81's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the others others. Go for the BSN. Besides, in the grand scheme of things, 3 years is a mere drop in the bucket. Maybe, since you'll both have full schedules, you should make a concerted...

    In January, I'll be applying for my school's ADN program, which starts Fall 2013. Admissions test is administered in March, and I should have my acceptance or rejection in April. As long as I don't...

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We're in the home stretch! One lab left before our written final (the Tuesday after Thanksgiving), and then we have the following four labs for our unknowns. As for lecture, we have one more test and...

    Textbook or ebook......

    Exhaustipated replied to 7237dallas's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like many others, I prefer flipping through and highlighting a physical textbook, but searching for things is much easier in an ebook. I have both for microbiology; I find I used my physical text...

    Nursing Programs North of Atlanta

    Exhaustipated replied to phillies4168's topic in Georgia Nursing

    Unfortunately, I live on the other side (NE side) of Atlanta, so I can't really answer your questions about those schools or the commute. But since I already had this link saved, I thought I'd share...

    Are there any colleges in GA that DO NOT require TEAS?

    Exhaustipated replied to madamlexxa's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I don't know of any Georgia schools that don't require some sort of multi-subject aptitude test for admission (i.e. TEAS, HESI, NLN-PAX, Kaplan, etc.). Of course, I don't know admission requirements...

    10 days? Are you serious or exaggerating? I would go nutzo if I had to wait 10 days for my grade. Heck, it drove me crazy to wait 5 hours for my midterm exam grade

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We have a study guide in our lab manual, but like RunnerRN, it mentions just about everything we learned in class. Our midterm will be part practical/part written, so I guess I'll be studying the...

    Exhaustipated replied to Exhaustipated's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Earned a 96% on my 3rd exam this morning. Considering all the personal junk I was stressing over when I went in, I'm extremely pleased with that A. Our Lab midterm is next Tuesday, so I'll be doing...

    In lecture, we have 4 exams plus the final exam. In lab, we have the midterm and final practical/written exams and an unknown that counts as part of our final. Other than that, we have online T/F...

    Are people less likely to congratulate older or younger students for getting into RN?

    Exhaustipated replied to Kadambari's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm another older student -- when I'm accepted to nursing school (thinking positive, here), I'll be 45. My parents are both extremely excited I'm in school (I didn't go when I finished high school),...

    I want in on the therapy session! We have the same problem in our class: people talking over the instructor. We've also had issues with a lot of traffic in and out of the room during the class. Enough...

    Unsolicited Advice Makes You Think

    Exhaustipated posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After my classes today, I stopped at my school's library to print the PowerPoint slides for my next Micro unit. There was another woman in there, also printing. I happened to catch a glimpse of text...

    @EMT89: I record all the lectures and then transcribe them later. That way, not only am I re-listening, but I'm also slowing down and paying much closer attention. I always hear stuff I missed first...

    97% (194/200 points) on Test 2. It's an improvement over my first test and it's an A, so that's good. Still, there's room for improvement. We start viruses on

    Exhaustipated replied to liz_hansen's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with all the other advice; it depends on the school. Double check with your target schools and see what they tell you. My main target school requires pre-requisite courses are completed prior...

    Question about A&P

    Exhaustipated replied to jennaroo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the pass/fail rate in A&P is less about how recent your last science class was and more about your motivation as a student and willingness to prioritize studying above all else. As another...

    I don't hate the class, but you're right, it's A LOT of information. Luckily, my Lecture and Lab professor are the same person, so that probably helps me out. We had our first test today, and although...
