  1. Getting a 90% in TEAS V possible?

    I kept on getting 68's on the online tests. When I took the actual exam, I got an 81. I know, I know, not as impressive as these guys that have posted before me. Haha. I'm gonna retake it in a couple...
  2. Some tips for Students (new or exp!)

    THANKS!! I wish I knew about studyshack when I was taking micro! I made a ton of flash cards for that class & that website and your templates would have helped a
  3. Opinions on SJSU,CSUS & CSU East Bay

    You know, I was looking at SJ's admission requirements. I found out that you can't have any prereqs in progress when you apply. I thought that was weird so I called the school & they really do not...
  4. Just took the TEAS V.

    I got my score today! I go an 81.7. WAAAAY better than what I thought I was gonna get. I'm planning on retaking it
  5. Just took the TEAS V.

    Thanks! =) Sonoma State is my top choice. They go by a points system too, but I'm not sure how many points they require for admission. I think that if you study craaaazy hard, then you should be fine....
  6. Just took the TEAS V.

    I was feeling okay, until I got the science portion. People were right-- the science is NOTHING like the study manual. I haven't taken A&P yet so I tried to study as much as I could. All the other...
  7. Online Classes

    General ed classes are great to take online! I took 2 music classes online during the summer (one this summer & the other last summer). They were very easy for me. We were required to participate...
  8. WHERE do I buy a TEAS study guide?

    atitesting.com Good
  9. Sac State Spring 2012 or Fall 2012

    I would focus a lot on the science. That makes up a bigger portion of the exam. It helps to buy the ATI study guide and get the online practice tests as well. The math is explained very well in the...
  10. The people that I saw working 40 hours a week struggled way more w/ a full load of classes. They seemed to be absent from class more frequently as well. I work 20 hours a week. In between working and...
  11. Sac State Spring 2012 or Fall 2012

    I printed that thread out a while ago and I've been focusing on it a lot. My fingers are
  12. Sac State Spring 2012 or Fall 2012

    Yup, already did that. Still worried tho. Haha. Would you say that the study guide helped a lot when it came to the science portion of the actual
  13. Sac State Spring 2012 or Fall 2012

    I'm trying to aim a little higher too. I hope I get a score in the high 80's. The science portion really makes me nervous since I've only taken micro and chem. I will be taking Anatomy in the fall...
  14. Sac State Spring 2012 or Fall 2012

    I'm taking it on Saturday. Hella nervous! How about
  15. Money is definitely a factor for why I want to go into nursing, but it's also something that I've been dreaming of becoming since I was a little girl. I think it all began when my dad was diagnosed w/...
  16. Anyone else do this while studying?

    I sorta do the same thing, except w/ flash cards. I keep memorizing them out loud until they become secondary
  17. What are you doing in between prereqs and NS?

    I'm applying for fall 2012 so I will have a summer in between. I'm planning on getting my CNA license, working, looking for a new job near my school/apartment, and sorting out my financial stuff.
  18. Sac State Spring 2012 or Fall 2012

    I'm applying for fall 2012! It's my 2nd choice
  19. Nursing School and working

    My micro teacher's former student, who is an RN now, came into class last semester to talk about her experience in nursing school. She told us it's basically impossible to work. I got freaked out by...
  20. Posting your Exam Grades on Facebook

    When I had Facebook, I did post my grades up once in a while, especially if it was a test that I studied really hard for. I never had a problem with anyone posting their grades up. However, I never...
  21. Microbiology

    I took micro before A&P. I did really well but I studied HARD. It helps to know your anatomy when learning all the different diseases. I'm taking anatomy in the fall. Micro is all memorization and...
  22. I took chem and micro together last semester, along with philosophy and a workout class. I worked 24 hours a week, but when the spring semester started, I cut my hours down to 18. It's do-able, but...
  23. Yes, you should totally do it. It's also something to fall back on in an emergency, just in case you are unable to go to nursing school and will look good on a nursing school
  24. pre-reqs

    I'm taking anatomy, sociology, and life-span psychology (if they let me add!!) next semester. After that I will only have physio left.
  25. micro

    I'm sure you're more prepared for it than you think then. For my class, the first half of the semester dealt more w/ terms and structures of microbes. The 2nd half dealt more w/ the major diseases and...
