    juniorminty replied to mariakate004's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm with you DolceVita. You won't get by with people doing your work for you in real life. I rarely consult AllNurses unless I've exhausted my resources at home and my brain. This is what lead me to...

  6. What are you carrying all your books in?

    juniorminty replied to bri2012's topic in General Students

    Unless the instructor specifically asks us to bring a book to class I don't bring them. All my small chunky books (drug guide, dictionary, lab/diagnostic) stay home. At most I bring my binder, medsurg...

  7. How to approach the beginning of shift?

    juniorminty replied to glovedgoddess's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree! While it is important to get vitals and meet patients, you never want to go into a room not even know anything about your patient. Our hospital is doing away with Kardexs, so I just take a...

  8. 1/2 nursing class cut, WHY??

    juniorminty replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    juniorminty replied to proudmommy's topic in Georgia Nursing

  11. Community College? You must be stupid.

    juniorminty replied to TheMoonisMyLantern's topic in General Students

    I have to laugh when people think that community/vocational/trade colleges have it easier. I am going to a technical college for my LPN and I have to say, it is by far the most challenging experience...

  14. Tattoo cover up

    juniorminty replied to juniorminty's topic in General Nursing

    I have Dermablend and I have used it to cover a tattoo on my back for my wedding. I wouldn't use that at the hospital because, as you said, some clients may be allergic to some of the ingredients....

    juniorminty replied to oliveiral1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    juniorminty replied to oliveiral1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    juniorminty replied to oliveiral1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    juniorminty replied to CNA2day's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  19. Surprising my parents about getting accepted?!

    juniorminty replied to SUL2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could get a stethoscope or a nurses hat (from a costume store?) and take a picture of yourself and send it to them (email or picture text? so it doesn't take as long) saying 'Guess

  20. How to interpret TEAS scores?

    juniorminty replied to sdrenfro32's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I think it really just depends on what school you go to. I've heard about a million different answers from people. One person said they're score focuses more on the math and science section after they...

  24. TEAS 4.0 on computer - can go back?

    juniorminty replied to seanInSD's topic in General Students

    I just took the TEAS V and you are able to go back and review your answers. I think you still have to put an answer in to move on to the next page of questions but you can go back. However, once...

    juniorminty replied to spaghettidragon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As someone else already said -- get the TEAS V study guide. It is identitcal to what is on the test. Splurge and get the package that includes the paperback study guide and the online practice tests....
