It doesn't cover chemistry specifically. You might need to know something chemistry related, but it is very general. I wouldn't waste time studying chemistry specifically.

I was only doing research for future purposes. I graduate December 10th so I will need to work at least a year to find a good travel job, at least that is what a couple recruiters have told me. Have a good day. JF

I am a white male as well. You are the wrong color and gender for a scholarship. White males get the shaft. Good luck anyhow. Let us know if you get some help.

I doubt that straight males who enter the nursing profession are homophobic considering the gay population within the industry. That is like a person who is scared of spiders working in the arachnoid exhibit.

So we should do it because France does? Since when do we follow the lead of the french?

All white or white tops does look gay. That is why it is not worn anymore by the different professions you people have mentioned. I am sure you will find your occasional old school worker who likes the white look, but it has been replaced for the most part. Times have changed and he shouldn't feel great wearing a white top.

Who cares if he used the word gay. Some you sound as if he called your mother a wretched old skank. We all know the term gay takes on various meanings. All this politically correct garbage is you brain being washed from nursing school.

no doubt she would be happier doing what you did. i was only saying if she had no other option. if your school will replace the old grades with the new grades, that would be the perfect scenario. nursing school is getting extremely competitive because of the current job market. older nurses are hanging around because they can't retire and people who would have never thought about nursing school are suddenly interested because of great pay, upward mobility (CRNA, NP, DNP), stable job, and freedom to relocate anywhere. i wouldn't let your current GPA extinguish your dreams. you will get there whether you have to retake classes or not include previous transcripts. who cares as long as you get to the final destination. whatever you do, put in the time it takes to make good grades the second time around.

atitesting.com has some information on what sort of math they test for on the TEAS exam. it isn't difficult. review and practice is all that is needed.

One poster asked about working as a TMA to get prepared for pharm. Any atmosphere that you are exposed to drug names and their uses is very helpful. Get a phone app and everytime you hear a drug look it up on your phone. always know the class of medication. learn the generic name first. the brand names will come with time. extensive math is not really needed. you only have to know how to do dimensional analysis. there are books through amazon that can cover the math you need for medications. it is easy once you get the hang of it. i worked as a scribe in a busy E.D. before i entered nursing school. it was very helpful. the only downside to that job was i began to think like a doctor instead of a nurse. there are things outside the scope of a nurse and you can get tricked into picking those answers on the test. testing in nursing school is heavy on ordering interventions according to their priority. in med-surg you will see that a lot of the times the priority interventions will deal with airway maintenance. post surgery hits mostly on post-op bleeding. the best ecg book that money can buy is "rapid interpretation of ecg's by dale dubin"

The ironic thing about nursing school is the material isn't so hard. The hard part of nursing school is the way in which they ask the questions. It leaves a lot open for interpretation. You are given scenarios and expected to pick the best response. The problem with the scenario is it doesn't give you the whole picture so you are left to fill in the blanks. It isn't the proper way to test in my opinion. For instance, many questions deal with what is the primary nursing intervention or what is the primary assessment. In a lot of cases that depends on things that aren't spelled out in the question. Combined that with the fact they put two appropriate answers and you are left scratching your head. Nursing school is the only program that you can know everything about the question they are asking and still get it wrong. It is extremely frustrating. The quicker you get accustomed to their unique type of questions the better off you will be. Your school is ultimately concerned with its students pass rate on the NCLEX. Having that in mind it is wise to get accustomed to the way they ask questions. I suggest all students entering school to study for the hurst review upon entering and midway through the program. It is a good review that puts all the pieces together. More about nursing school later. Keep asking questions and I will answer.

whomever is telling you to be honest is living in fantasy land where rainbows end with pots of gold. i would like to know if they have been completely honest on all charting they have ever done on a patient. i highly doubt it. Some need to get off their high horse. the means justify the ends of providing a life for yourself. i don't mean to sound doom and gloom, but you will not get accepted to any nursing program if you have a 2.1 GPA. i went to college in florida and had to come home for a semester. i took a semester of classes in my hometown and had to stop halfway through the semester. i received all F's because it was past the withdrawal date. i never transferred those credits over and it was never exposed. i received financial aid at both universities.

I am in an accelerated BSN program. The program takes a year to complete and there is no waiting list. You have missed the deadline for this year and would only have to wait a year before starting, but you will finish in a year. Are you willing to relocate?

imagine that??? looking at grades rather than color of your skin. novel idea!
