  1. New Nurse Grad Blues.... : (

    NACovey replied to FLNurseGuy's topic in Florida Nursing

    If you don't mind me asking, where did you work in South Georgia, and where do you work

  2. Nursing Interview Questions (Part 2)

    NACovey replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Awesome, thank you! And congratulations on the job

  3. Nursing Interview Questions (Part 2)

    NACovey replied to TheCommuter's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Stacey30, do you remember what you said for the first critical thinking question? I think I have my answer but I guess I'm not really sure what they want to hear or what not :-) Any help from anyone...

  4. Average TEAS

    NACovey replied to nervouswreck757's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I think my average was a 77. I got into the BSN. Just depends how good everyone else does of your chance getting in.. if they go off a point

  5. Common nusring school schedule???

    NACovey replied to stella2570's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just got accepted to a BSN program. I don't know definite times for classes, as we do not find out our schedule until Nursing orientation 3 days before the semester starts (kinda weird). But I...

  6. Geezzz..the wait on accepantace/denial for NS

    NACovey replied to keepmovingrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had to have our apps and testing complete by February 15th. I found out May 13th that I got accepted! Good

  7. Is nursing for me? I just need to "talk" through it...

    NACovey replied to chaplainjanie's topic in General Students

    Wow it sounds like you've had quite a ride. In my opinion, I say go for it. I don't have the background like you do (no children, no degree yet) but it sounds like, for right now, that nursing school...

  8. what would you do?

    NACovey replied to kbucksn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had high school chemistry (10th grade). If you take chem, and start the basics, then take the TEAS test while you are in chem, I think you will be fine. I never took chem in college for nursing...

  9. Is this actually possible?

    NACovey replied to Steve445's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Check if your school has a grade forgiveness type of thing for classes you get a D in. If not, I was told when I asked about retaking classes, that you have to go to a different school that accepts...

  10. I think I made the wrong decision....:(

    NACovey replied to iwanttobeanurse1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just replied to a post exactly like this.. and I will repeat myself. Don't let what you hear about all the horrid paperwork and awful doctors and cranky families scare you away from what you want to...

  11. Becoming a CNA

    NACovey replied to gggaaabbbbyyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm from Florida and there was an Adult Education center that had CNA classes. And definitely through a community college or better yet a technical school. I was a CNA for 4 years and finally got to...

  12. Straight B student?

    NACovey replied to magichospital's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Science classes matter most, in the end. If you are neck and neck with another student about to be accepted, they will look at science grades for the final answer. I got maybe 2 C's in my gen. ed...

  13. I GOT IN!!! NOW WHAT?!?!?

    NACovey replied to Shandra2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find it so funny that once you get accepted, all you want to do is stuff for nursing and stuff to start school. I got accepted for Fall too and it starts in mid-August... therefore I have over 2...

  14. What are your personal perceptions.....

    NACovey replied to Lisa1980's topic in General Students

    Does this mean... what do you think about keeping a dying patient alive as long as possible? That is kind of what it means to

  15. Decisions

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

    Yeah and when I said about being "older" I meant like over 50 older. A woman I used to work with was going back to school for her RN and she was 52. And she would make a GREAT nurse. I sit and pout...

  16. How did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

    NACovey replied to iwanttobeanurse33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it just came to me. And that is one thing I don't get. Why let someone else influence and/or determine what you want to do? Sure you can listen to all the crap they talk about their jobs and...

  17. Would you be mad if a fellow nursing student did this?

    NACovey replied to StangGang92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't see a problem with it either. Yeah, someone may have wanted it more that was one spot away from getting it, but hey I guess they should have tried harder? I believe if anyone needs a "fall...

  18. TEAS test vs TEAS prep test of ATI.com

    NACovey replied to monkago2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Only one person can use it because if you take the practice test, you cant retake it. You can only do it once. I bought the study manual along with two practice tests. I think it definitely prepared...

  19. College of Coastal GA in brunswick acceptance

    NACovey replied to reeta116's topic in Georgia Nursing

    I just got accepted to the BSN program at CCGA. You don't need the regents exam to get in or to graduate at least if you are a transfer student with qualifying SAT and ACT scores (that is me). Last...

  20. Decisions

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

    I know how you feel. I am 21 and notice all my friends graduating with Bachelors degrees. And I am sitting here with 2 years left. But, I like to think about all the *older* (saying this in the nicest...

  21. New Job! Looking for advice!

    NACovey replied to guavaturtle's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    I've been a CNA for the past 4 years and just got accepted to the BSN program. That acceptance letter was like a ticket to actually quit my job. Being a CNA is not easy. The physical aspect, and in...

  22. Do experienced students (cna, emt) do better in nursing programs than non-exp???

    NACovey replied to Aka Mommy's topic in General Students

    I despised the way some nurses did their work at the nursing home I just recently used to work at. So, I am glad to see that I will have an open mind starting nursing school. I am going there to...

  23. Decisions

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

    I had the same predicament. I applied to the ADN program at one school and didn't get accepted. I had all my pre reqs done and everything. I got declined twice from that school and got fed up so I...

  24. How many semesters is your program?

    NACovey replied to JustDes's topic in General Students

    I got the rough outline of the next two years for the BSN program I am about to start in the fall. It says we only go Fall, Spring, Fall, Spring... which is hard to believe. Totally thought there...

  25. Some advice on trying to work and do school full time.

    NACovey replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I agree. If you don't have to work that much, then don't. Do they have a PRN position open there or somewhere else in the hospital? Even if it's not where you want to work, you still have that...
