  2. Who's taken the teas v?

    boojum replied to sch1109's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I just took the TEAS last week. I also thought the science section was the most difficult. The study guide was not that helpful for that section, IMO. I mean yes, there is a very quick review of...

  3. Tired of Pre-Reqs

    boojum replied to DarkBluePhoenix's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  5. Food for thought

    boojum replied to CareRx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are no quick fixes in this world. I think people jump into nursing thinking it is their ticket to a quick paycheck, but more and more I am realizing that it is not. If you get into nursing...

  7. Obama Care

    boojum replied to johnny depp23's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  8. Another tattoo question thread...

    boojum replied to MarkieMark's topic in General Nursing

  10. Questions about EMT-B

    boojum posted a topic in Nursing Career

  13. Conscience Schmoncience! Who cares what you believe?

    boojum replied to jmqphd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    If a medication is legal but the government tells medical professionals that they can all refuse to give it to me, how is that personal freedom? Seems like it is government power standing in the way...

    boojum replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    I'm still a pre-nursing student, but I got a 100 on my final Micro exam! And our teacher has a reputation for being famously difficult and asking nursing school-type

    boojum replied to jdcandyman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't mean to discourage you, I would just hate for you to spend that money and time and then not be able to find a job and pay back your loan. You should be able to get a bsn after lvn, but like...

  25. I'm considering nursing, but I'm scared of "lateral violence"

    boojum replied to blueshift's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is definitely true. However nursing has a reputation for having more of this type of violence than almost any other profession. So I think it's not only appropriate to be concerned about it,...
