PowerLiftingLady, It might actually be easier for you to get hired at a SNF or even a hospital as a new graduate as these areas don't always require a BSN, but prefer one. Usually clinics require 1-2 years prior experience working in an acute care se...

Hello! I haven't been on Allnurse in a long time! So I graduated from the Rasmussen ADN program three years ago and passed NCLEX. I got hired right away at a SNF and worked there for one year. I then got hired with Bellin hospital's home health depar...

Hello all- I am a 2013 ADN graduate from Rasmussen College in Green bay. In reading the previous posts, it's clear to see that those who are making negative comments about Rasmussen college are def generalizing and don't have a clue what they're tal...

I currently work on a rehab unit where ratios are one RN to 20-30 pts at any given time! This is my first job straight out of school which I am thankful for, but I can't help but dream about how nice it would be to work in a hospital where nurses hav...

Awesome kathereen9888! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

I too left the exam feeling like I failed! I was already planning my new study regime for the second attempt. At first, when I tried the Pearsonvue trick, I got a pop saying that my results were "on hold". Then on Wed, the pop up changed to the good ...

Check Pearsonvue and see if quick results are available! Mine was available when I checked at 9 am, and sure enough I Paaassed!!!! You should be able to pay the 7.95 and get your results by now if you took it Tuesday because I also took mine Tues mor...

I took the NCLEX-RN exam on Tuesday and got the good pop up today. As far as from what I've found online it is still true. I guess I'll find out for sure tomorrow when I check my quick results..

I think to a certain point, all nursing students feel this way! We have to learn such a large amount of information in such a short period of time, and then suddenly we're thrown into clinical and we feel like we're expected to be pros! From my own e...

I am the same way too. I do have slight social anxiety but only when I know all attention is on me and I have to speak, that's the worse! I have been doing pretty good so far in school-almost done, 5 months to go, but this quarter I have 5 more prese...

Decisions like these are never easy to make. Definitely take the time to discuss things with the school's counselor, teachers, and other mentors in your life for advice. I understand that everyone has different beliefs and feelings about abortion, ...

That's awesome! Your story is very inspiring especially to other mothers. It's always a major challenge trying to get through nursing school when you're a mom. I'm 31, with four children, and sometimes wonder how in the heck I've managed to get A's...

That's awesome! My story is similar. In all of my nursing classes so far (in my second quarter), I have made it a point to keep myself ahead right from the start. It really does feel good when your nearing the end of the quarter and you know you're j...

I'm pretty sure this is how it's broken up for everyone. For each section, your score percentage is also shown once you've completed the exam.

@kdrm This is how the TEAS V exam is broken up unless they changed it from April this year, which is when I took it. I got this info from my Individual Performance Profile which was printed off from the ATI web site and also at my college. ATI is the...

I'm looking at my teas score individual performance profile which breaks down each section. There were 150 questions and I'm not sure if this included the 20 that were not graded or if those were separate. TEAS Reading: 42 items total Paragraph and P...

@ AddisonLawrence03 I completely understand what you are feeling right now! I was just as nervous when I had to take the teas v test. I had been out of school for over 10 years and thought I might not be competent enough. I studied the manual very c...

Hi, I sympathize with you completely! I am a married, 30 year old mother of four, and a full time nursing student who is about to enter my second quarter starting 10-3. I learned a lot from my first quarter, including how to properly manage my time a...

I'm much the same way in that I can sometimes reeeeally over think things! The way I get through it is by just focusing on the present. It's not always easy to do that when your mind wants to wonder; especially at night! All you can do is start out...

I know exactly how you feel! I start nursing classes July 5th and have 4 children. My husband works full-time as well and the only way I'm going to make it through school, is with the help of my mother in-law! She is retired and is at home most of th...

@ Twinmom06 - did your tuition pay for these items? I know most schools will include the sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, bandage scissors, and penlight. I did not know for sure until I received my books, scrubs and these items together in the mail. Y...

@ adorable42181 - Yes, I will definitely try to keep everyone posted! I have really been enjoying reading posts and writing replies on allnurses! As soon as I log off here I'm hittin the textbooks again for some more study; biology and medical termin...

Wow, these are all cds my husband and I have owned, or currently own! We are soundtrack junkies, but tend to like the battle and war saga type. They really have some good musical scores! I am a new nursing student and have been considering what mus...
