    aachavez replied to AllNursesisCool's topic in General Students

    Ive done a few searches on sites like monster.com. There are always a ton of RN jobs (at least in the Tampa area) BUT they require someone with experience. Usualy at least one

  8. white nurse shoes

    aachavez replied to scarecow's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a pair of skechers which I love, I might get another pair for outside school so I dont get the whites dirty. I won't be in clinicals for quite a long time, so I'd rather spend $40 on a pair...

  11. Why are there no nursing schools with built-in prerequisites?

    aachavez replied to EMT-newbie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    aachavez replied to DBK99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. My TEAS Score... good enough?

    aachavez replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    aachavez replied to Luckynumber9's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    aachavez replied to mamaxmaria's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  17. Do you ever get tired of hearing this phrase?

    aachavez replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with all the 'what you do on your own time'. But also this ^. If you're on Media sites, you're putting yourself out there for the entire world to see. It shouldn't be surprising when...

  18. Taking Teas V on Monday, last minute advice?

    aachavez replied to Jamiek33's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    What's a passing score? For me, it was 65%, which really is not very much. I wouldn't be freaking out about HAVING to get a PERFECT score.... wont really make a difference, either you pass or fail....

  19. How much time did you take to study for the TEAS?

    aachavez replied to NellieOlsen's topic in TEAS Exam Help

  22. How much time did you take to study for the TEAS?

    aachavez replied to NellieOlsen's topic in TEAS Exam Help

  23. Classmates complaining about program, I think it is fine

    aachavez replied to Bruce_Wayne's topic in General Students

    I'd be the same as you if i had classmates constatnly complaining like that. If it's too hard, then maybe you shouldnt be here. I make a point to stay away from attitudes like that, not gonna let it...

    aachavez replied to malarwen's topic in General Students
