    Cant pass the Teas!!!!

    i♥words replied to MamaAguas's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    What is a passing score? I ask this because many nursing programs have varying requirements for TEAS scores. Some don't even look at the overall grade, but only one or two sections. I took the TEAS...

    i♥words replied to HeatherMax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Me! I have looked at job listings as well, and most in the area I want to work in say "BSN preferred." I'm a sophomore and will hopefully start next year in the nursing

    TEAS V hard?

    i♥words replied to lauraline's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I didn't think it was too bad, but I will say that the reading portion on my test was more difficult than the reading sections in the ATI prep book. As in, the passages were longer and the questions...

    need advice for micro

    i♥words replied to chrissylovegood's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it is interesting that you are doing so well in lab but not in lecture. Maybe you aren't studying all of the material. Why are you doing so well in lab? Do you study more for it instead of...

    Discouraged by Anatomy class

    i♥words replied to zeno33's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends. Some programs average all of your grades, even the Fs, and others do grade replacement, so they would take the new A over the old

    Being young and being in nursing.

    i♥words replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    I'm turning twenty in the very near future, and I know what you're saying. I feel incredibly young, not just because of my age, but because of my life experiences, or lack of them maybe. On top of...

    UT Tyler Fall '13 (Tyler or Longview branch)

    i♥words replied to Curlymitch06's topic in Texas Nursing

    I applied for Tyler or Palestine! I had a 90 overall TEAS. I never calculated my points myself; I'm trusting that my grades and TEAS score will get me in, though. Hopefully we'll get emails soon...

    How do you get to sleep?

    i♥words replied to eva123's topic in General Students

    Writing in a journal about everything, especially stuff you can't (or won't) tell others. (I am reminded of my tween years when I wrote in a diary that had a plastic lock on it. ) This is especially...

    Losing Hope.

    i♥words replied to michellelane330's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry you're having a rough time. Thoughts... Can you retake the classes to bring your GPA up? Then apply and see what happens. You can't know for sure that you won't get in until you try. Also,...

    Best Stethoscope?

    i♥words replied to RedHeaded2bNurse16's topic in General Students

    Can you end up overkill on your stethoscope choice? I'm looking at a Littmann Classic II SE. I guess it is in between a lightweight and a cardiology? Decisions, decisions. Sorry that I don't have any...

    Whiners in the classroom?!?!?!

    i♥words replied to rj2011's topic in General Students

    This is why I don't socialize much with other students. I often find them whiny and infantile, and I can't take their excuses. While I may feel the same way at times, I don't like to dwell, or discuss...

    Age old debate: on campus or online micro?????

    i♥words replied to rubato's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would take it in person. I've taken a few online classes (none of them sciences, though) and not all are in work-at-your-own-pace format. In fact, most of the ones I have taken are the opposite....

    i♥words replied to mrsbacktoschool's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I like this. I can do this because I am determined and hopeful. I will be a great nurse because I will give my best even when I don't feel like it. (I could pretty much say this about life in...

    i♥words replied to COMPLEXBeautyy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1) Attendance policy 2) Quizzes 3) Missing material Those are the three problems I see with missing class. Missing material in my opinion isn't too big of a deal as long as you read the chapters your...

    Reviews & Rationales or Made Incredibly Easy

    i♥words posted a topic in General Students

    I'm sure this has been asked somewhere on this site, but I've tried the search and Bing and couldn't find a comparison of the two. Which one of these series is better? I figure if I start buying from...

    Thoughts please regarding Chem and A&P I

    i♥words replied to Trenata's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could actually take them together if you want to. A&P 1 has a little chemistry towards the beginning, but it is just the basics, so you don't have to take chemistry beforehand. I think you...

    Thanks for the advice, both of you. I narrowed down schools based on pass rate but actually picked after visiting with someone from the nursing program and learning about the admission process. Where...

    Good books for a pre-college student to read

    i♥words replied to bucolicdulcet's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You'll have plenty to read once you start. You could find a book that's about study skills. I don't know of one off the top of my head, but I know there are plenty out there. I would focus on planning...

    Already feeling discouraged..

    i♥words replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you cannot study effectively, then you will have very little chance of succeeding. I proved this hypothesis myself many, many times. (It's pretty much a scientific theory now. ) You have to adjust...
