  1. Why soo many different pre-nursing exams....

    Cortisol replied to futureRNMena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sounds like you are applying to 2nd bachelor's programs or direct entry programs too? So far I've taken the NET and TEAS V. My overall scores were comparable, but my Reading score on the TEAS was...

  2. Minor to go along with nursing degree

    Cortisol replied to haitianshawty112's topic in General Students

    Sorry. Double

  3. Minor to go along with nursing degree

    Cortisol replied to haitianshawty112's topic in General Students

    As a Medical Interpreter, I'm partial to the idea of minoring in Spanish! If you are already fluent in Spanish, you may simply want to become a trained medical interpreter rather than completing a...

  4. Which route to take?

    Cortisol replied to Justin93's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I definitely think taking the EMT course and continuing with the Nursing pre-reqs would definitely be a good idea. It would allow you to leave your options open at this point. Could you maybe be a...

  5. Why soo many different pre-nursing exams....

    Cortisol replied to futureRNMena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I seriously think that having different tests at different schools allows some schools to limit the number of applications they recieve for a particular class. I often wonder the same thing about...

  6. Rbc, hgh, hct - lab help

    Cortisol replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    My guess is that the attending physician just wants to be sure that there are no signs of anemia or leukopenia. These are rare side effects of penicillin, but with multiple medical dx, your patient...

  7. Question about Math prerequisite. Welcoming all insight!

    Cortisol replied to AaronsMommyxx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with DFW gal. While you may not have to take Alg/GeoI since you placed in to Alg/GeoII, you may still need to have a certain number of math credits for your program. I would ask a nursing...

  8. TEAS Test, math section vs. HESI???

    Cortisol replied to FairBrittania's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I'm glad to hear that!

  9. TEAS; timing questions (time/section)

    Cortisol replied to Traveler0202's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You may skip ahead to questions in a particular section and go back to unfinished questions later. For example, I skipped over a few difficult science questions and went back to finish them after...

  10. TEAS; timing questions (time/section)

    Cortisol replied to Traveler0202's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If you finish a section early, you can move on to the next block. The computer will prompt you a few times to be sure that this is what you want to do, but it is possible. You will NOT get...

  11. Kaplan nursing school entrance exam (NOT teas or hesi)

    Cortisol replied to Littleamberofky's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Waiting until you have the pre-reqs under your belt may be a good idea. I took the Kaplan test at the beginning of the year, and the science was challenging! From what I remember, it was pretty...

  12. is BIO 201 hard?

    Cortisol replied to Cynthia0218's topic in General Students

    I was just wondering which course it is. Is it Anatomy? Physiology? General

  13. how to deal with learning all the medical terms?

    Cortisol replied to ThePhilster's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am a Medical Terminology co-instructor, and I definitely agree with the previous post that says to focus on the roots, prefixes, and suffixes of a word. This is the best method to use when you are...

  14. is BIO 201 hard?

    Cortisol replied to Cynthia0218's topic in General Students

    What is BIO 201 at your

  15. TEAS Test, math section vs. HESI???

    Cortisol replied to FairBrittania's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Ooops. Sorry. I didn't realize that the original post was made over a year

  16. TEAS Test, math section vs. HESI???

    Cortisol replied to FairBrittania's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I haven't taken the HESI, but I took both the NET and the TEAS V. I didn't purchase the TEAS V study guide but did use the Kaplan Nursing Entrance Test book and the McGraw-Hill book. The math...

  17. Really want to be a nurse but....I may have a problem :(

    Cortisol replied to augajaro's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First, I don't have kids, but I get nervous enough when my dog must have anything done. I can only imagine how stressful it would be when a child is sick/injured! I definitely think that the stress...

  18. Samuel Merritt ELMSN Fall 2012

    Cortisol replied to lliu1109's topic in California Nursing

    Ok. . .so now I feel a little odd that I'm the only person who posted my stats and talked about my experiences. I'm just really excited to start my nursing career! Anyone else care to share their...

  19. Oral fixation and focusing

    Cortisol replied to Thujone's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't know of any specific studies showing this, but if it works for you, keep doing it! What Saysffa says about diverting your energy really makes sense. This definitely explains why some people...

  20. Do the Math versions of TEAS V vary based on school??

    Cortisol replied to AddisonLawrence03's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I just took the TEAS V on Nov 2, and the Geometry questions I had were basic. I didn't use the official TEAS study guide but did use the McGraw-Hill book. It covered the geometry topics that my exam...

  21. BS in Bio wanting to do be RN

    Cortisol replied to Ckvn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I can totally relate! I have a BS in Biology and want to be an FNP! Nutrition, A&P, and Psych are courses are pretty much universal nursing pre-requisites. If you have verified what courses you...

  22. A&p 1 & Micro?

    Cortisol replied to chelseachandler's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you are able to dedicate the necessary study time to each class, you shouldn't have a problem. It's totally doable! I may be a bit biased since my bachelor's is in Biology, but unless science...

  23. Questions to ask potential schools before you apply

    Cortisol replied to AOx1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I couldn't agree more that the program goals should compliment the student goals in order to ensure that the program is a good fit for both parties. It seems that there are so many things to consider...

  24. Clinicals = networking!

    Cortisol replied to Cuddleswithpuddles's topic in General Students

    This is excellent advice! Especially in this economy, networking is

  25. I'm 4'10 and worried I am too small to be cna

    Cortisol replied to M.Scarborough's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Don't worry! I'm 5'8", and my partner in my CNA class was barely 5'0" tall, if that. I also worked at a nursing home where there was a very tiny CNA. She was well under 5'0". I also just wanted...
