1. TEAS V...need encouragement

   MICHRNTOB replied to sugarloaf970's topic in General Students

   These are only practice tests and not much like the real thing, IMO. You have to take the real test in person in a proctored environment. Get the TEAS practice book. Read it and take all the tests. See how you do. If you do well on those, then you'...

2. Nursing School has it all wrong.

   MICHRNTOB replied to roscopeeco's topic in General Students

   I could give a #### that the OP thinks that I was being passive aggressive. I was being courteous to someone on a public forum and trying to restrain from personal attacks, as per the TOS, However, I don't want him putting words in my mouth. I neve...

3. Nursing School has it all wrong.

   MICHRNTOB replied to roscopeeco's topic in General Students

   Look, my first degree required that we learn theory, as well. It can seem pointless when you are itching to jump into the actual meat of your profession, but these classes are part of many bachelors programs. They make you a more well-rounded per...

4. Nursing School has it all wrong.

   MICHRNTOB replied to roscopeeco's topic in General Students

   Not to sound harsh, but maybe you should have researched the nursing role before you started school? I keep reading complaints from students who seem to be very frustrated by a nurse's scope of practice. I say this as student who starts my ABSN pro...

5. Prerequisites for BSN

   MICHRNTOB replied to Rock34's topic in General Students

   The required pre-reqs vary by school. There are basically two types of BSN programs: traditional and 2nd degree. You can find information about both types and see which fits your needs. As for recommending a good school, I would suggest looking on t...

6. Jackson Community College in Michigan Fall 2011

   MICHRNTOB replied to MelBell2005's topic in Michigan

   I am happy for you, MB. I know you also looked at EMU, which is where I am going. I knew that you'd find a spot because you have been working so hard at this! Good luck to you!

7. Other options than buying the Teas V study Guide?

   MICHRNTOB replied to karamarie91's topic in Pre-Nursing

   The math is basic high school-level stuff. A few algebra equations (very simple); some simple geometry (find area, perimeter, etc), meaurement, etc. But the majority are multi-step story problems using addition,subtraction, multiplication and divis...

8. EMU 2nd bachelor's 2011?

   MICHRNTOB replied to MICHRNTOB's topic in Michigan

   Hi The info sheet I got last year just said that you get credit for ‘any an all pre-req courses taken at EMU. “ I think there is a 29 pt. max on this. Someone told me recently that you get 1 pt. per credit hour – I’m not sure if everything is wei...

9. Summer A&P Crisis

   MICHRNTOB replied to CordaeP's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Does your text book have an online website you can use? I found those to be so helpful, especially in the beginning of A&P when you are trying to memorize all the bones, muscles, nerves, etc. But, it also helped me with tough concepts like imm...

10. Does anyone here go to Thomas Edison of NJ?

    MICHRNTOB replied to Bluern2022's topic in Online Learning

    I took a few classes with them to finish my first bachelor's degree. It was not in nursing, however, so I can't speak about that program. Anyway, when I went (a few years ago) they had proctored mid-terms ( I did mine at a local CC). The finals were...

11. EMU 2nd bachelor's 2011?

    MICHRNTOB replied to MICHRNTOB's topic in Michigan

    I don't know- my letter didn't say and I never asked about my points. I guess I should have, but I didn't want to obsess over that,too :) Just FYI - I had full TEAS points and all my pre-reqs were taken at EMU. I had a 3.87 GPA in those classes. I...

    They are mailing the letters tomorrow. Not email according to the person. On the phone.

15. A&P I and II at the same time

    MICHRNTOB replied to ChattNurseHopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I found it in the school catalog. I had to dig around a bit, but it did say that the courses may not be taken concurrently. However, like you said they may grant you a waiver since you are repeating the courses. In my school, these courses really di...
