    I need reassurance, or reality check?

    I need reassurance, or reality check?

    afterseason replied to studentinchicago's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know what having a GED really has to do with it. Also, who cares if you left classes if you later corrected them and ended up with a perfect GPA? I dropped (although I did not just stop going...

    Anyone else feel this way?

    afterseason replied to Crazed_NS's topic in General Students

    I'm beyond scared. Haha. I was nothing but excited for the longest time, but now that school is only about two weeks away (Aug 17), I'm freaking. I feel nauseated just at the thought. I find comfort...

    afterseason replied to adntobe's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I'm not good with math myself, but I did not find the TEAS math to be too difficult. Surprisingly, all my peers and I found the science to be the most difficult (and that's my strong

    Preparing for nursing school

    afterseason replied to Suns1113's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have all of the "Made Incredibly Easy" books, although these are more helpful for while you're IN nursing school. To prepare, I mostly reviewed my pre-req stuff such as medical terminology and...

    Getting vaccinated for Nursing school?

    afterseason replied to cmj1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, refusing vaccines is guaranteed failure of the course. Why? Because clinical sites require these vaccines. If you can't do the rotation, you fail your clinical portion, which means you...

    ATI "Nurse in a box"

    afterseason replied to samrusrn's topic in General Students

    My school has a similar ATI fee, but luckily ours is only $191. We had about six books to buy, and I managed to find them all for $309 (shipping included). I don't know how much they all would have...

    Average TEAS V Score? Your score?

    afterseason replied to granolatrees's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I got an 87.8. I believe the average was a 66, although I don't know where they were pulling the average from (school, state, etc). I know my program (ADN) only considered those who got an 80 or...

    afterseason replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Awesome! I know at my school it just needs to be out of the face and off the shoulders, but it doesn't necessarily HAVE to be in a bun. Just depends on your hair style / length, I

    I'm Going to Scream!

    afterseason replied to Stephalump's topic in General Students

    I can't study unless I have music ON. However, it can't be blasting away, it just needs to be subtle background noise. I think it's pretty damn rude for someone to go into an area that is clearly...

    Fall 2012 new nursing students roll call!!!

    afterseason replied to ixchel's topic in General Students

    My school doesn't even allow us the option of declining. Well, we can get a notarized official letter stating we decline vaccines for personal or religious reasons. But, our instructors made it pretty...

    Pre-Nursing school immunization catastrophe!

    afterseason replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    My schools wants proof of vaccines AND titers (I guess to "prove" that the vaccines worked?) for the Hep B and Varicella. It seems kind of overkill, but I was able to get my titers done for about $20...

    How do you afford /pay for school?

    afterseason replied to GodIs082010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I receive HOPE Grant / Scholarship and Pell Grant. That covers all of my school expsenses and I have a few hundred left over per month after that. Haven't had a need for a loan (knock on

    How many times/years did it take to get accepted.

    afterseason replied to ambergoeke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The program I'm in had 500+ applicants for 50 seats! It is amazing how competitive these programs are. We're down to about 44 now (and class hasn't even started yet) just from them weeding people out...

    Orientation(s)?

    afterseason replied to CRNBSN18's topic in General Students

    Myself and most of my classmates wore jeans and a nice top to orientation and that seemed to be appropriate. We are allowed to wear this to lecture as well, but our jeans have to fit appropriately and...
