Hello everyone, I have always had an interest in nursing, due to the fact that many of my immediate family are in the healthcare field. It is my dream to become a Nurse. I took the TEAS and was confident that I would pass. I done exactly as I predict...

Just done the Pearson vue trick and got the good pop up. With 75 questions I might add.

Well, it has been a while but I am pleased to announce that I have just gotten my grades from my final semester of nursing school........ I will be attending the pinning ceremony tomorrow. Never lose faith and never give up. I'm proof it can be done.

okay guys, I just recently got accepted to a nursing program. With that being said, I am very worried about something on my medical record. Now, please, try to be gentle as I openly admit this was a huge mistake on my part and a isolated incident....

I never touch any sort of illegal drugs or anything like that and wouldn't dream of doing anything stupid to jeopardize my nursing career. The thought of ruining this opportunity is absolutely horrifying to me. I appreciate you all taking the time...

My mom caught this one before it actually got to the doctor. "pt has p***Y discharge" pertaining to an infected wound.......

Just for curiosity sake; can one be overdressed for an interview? Now, I'm not talking tuxedo here, but would a nice business suit be a little too much or should I go a bit more casual? I just wonder because I am starting some volunteer work in the n...

if nothing else, perhaps you could get it expunged? Granted, I'm not familiar with the process, but if this is going to be some sort of reoccurring problem, it would be worth a shot. I mean, it was nine years ago and if there hasn't been anything of ...

there have been some really good suggestions here; you also want to remember that repetition is your friend. My A&P professor stressed reading each chapter three times. Now, I realize this is time consuming, but my practice was to read the chapte...

Now, I am not a nurse, as of yet and I am not exactly classified as an 'older' person at 22. However, I would like to share an instance that would relate to the topic in question. My grandmother is 72 years old; she lives and works on her farm (all 3...

shew..... the waiting is A.W.F.U.L But, God willing, everything will pan out.

It all boils down to how you perceive the situation & how your patient perceives the situation. What I mean is, if you go in to do a procedure and are obviously uncomfortable, the patient is going to pick up on this and will begin to feel the sam...

My mom was a CNA for thirteen years at a LTC facility. I remember asking her why she didn't go on to be a nurse (she understood that the LPNs and RN's had other vital job functions that they had to get done) and her reply was " I like the time I get ...

I'll be waiting until April. I hate having to 'hurry up and wait'!

okay guys, so here is the setup: I have a 3.7 GPA, all of my pre requisites and co requisites done and out of the way. I've applied to a couple of different programs but I got some bad news today.... One of the colleges that I applied to sent a le...

Yeah, I'm going to go to school as long as I can. I fully intend to take advantage of the RN to BSN through my current school. Thanks for the reply!

I am freaking out because I am 23 and God willing, getting ready to go into a nursing program (I have a 2 year old, am married and wouldn't trade my situation for the world). I have to say that I admire the older generations for going back to school ...

I went into AF Security Forces and I can tell you from my experience that the AF is extremely picky; It took me about 6 months just to get a job prior to shipping out for BMT (and this is the AF's equivalent of infantry) . Every branch is going thr...

Yeah, you should be able to so long as the TEAS is the exam that the college of interest uses for their program. This has been my experience, anyway. Considering it is the same exam and covers the same material, there shouldn't be any problem. Howeve...

Not willing to see past a stigma is correct! We as disabled persons are supposed to have all of these laws that protect us from garbage like this; however it always seems that employers or educators have some sort of fail-safe way to deal with indivi...

Alright guys, I figure it is time for an update. I have fought with my current college for about a year over this problem. I finally came to an agreement with admissions that I could take my TEAS exam at another college with my accommodations. Well, ...

yeah, I should have clarified that earlier on. But she was supposed to be working along side the nursing department in order to see if I could retest for the TEAS with my accommodations and both of the people from the different departments have just ...

Well, that is the thing, this woman is over the student support services. Shes the one supposed to be helping me, but instead shes trying to hold my head under water. She has also been ignoring my attempts to contact her for the past three weeks (al...

Wow, I really appreciate all of the support here! I am currently scheduling yet another meeting with the lady over the division. Her main argument to this day, even after I was tested by the psychologist that she referred me to is that I have done to...

Well, I've been fighting to get documentation of my learning disability. I went to the psychologist that the school even recommended me to and was even formally diagnosed AGAIN with a learning disability in math. However, it seems that because I have...
