  1. Any one else applying right now

    emcadams replied to canut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the waiting boat too! I applied to a few programs, and most of them I won't hear anything until the end of March/beginning of April. I'm not supposed to bother the school for information until...

  2. Should I go into nursing or another field related?

    emcadams replied to rystle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with CDEWannaBe...you won't be happy in a career you have no passion for. Go for the RD! You can work so many places, coauthor cookbooks, etc. My advice is if you are scared of chemistry, take...

  3. New Grad nurse/early pregnancy advice

    emcadams replied to mrsduck's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I would say not to mention it unless the question of "are you pregnant", or "do you know of any reasons you may not be able to perform this job for an extended time, etc", came up. Why? Because being...

  4. i have to interview an R.N.

    emcadams replied to nelle0706's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would try and call a teaching hospital to interview an RN. I'm assuming this is an assignment for your class? Also, ask some good friends if they have friends or family you could interview. It would...

  5. RIDICULOUS RULES!

    emcadams replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It definitely sounds like you could pursue it. I believe you probably need to include all the details of your situation in the letter to the Vice President. Seems like this is on a case by case basis...

  6. RIDICULOUS RULES!

    emcadams replied to Mrs.Priss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What classes did you take at your college from 10 years ago? I would strongly recommend applying to a different college, and NOT submitting transcripts from your old school. Pretend like you never...

  7. Teas Test

    emcadams replied to valeeriahh's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    hwagoner7....the new version of the test actually has no geology on it at all now the "physical science" portion is basically chemistry and a little bit of physics (i've never taken physics...so...

  8. Teas Test

    emcadams replied to valeeriahh's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I agree with lrobinson5...get the ATI study materials. I exclusively used those and did well on the TEAS. The ATI book tells you how much time you have for each section. You have loads of time. If you...

  9. Essay about suicide

    emcadams replied to tlc1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is a tough question. On the one hand, I agree, it is a great story and something great to write about, as I am sure more people than will admit can relate. However...being a nurse you have to be...

  10. I need help on a chemistry problem in the practice assesment...

    emcadams replied to Distraught_Concerned's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Well, you may find some help if you still have your Chemistry book, or just looking at a Chemistry for dummies book at the library. This looks like a single replacement reaction...so Ca would replace...

  11. TEAS V ..My results for MDC

    emcadams replied to yadi87's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Oh? I wonder if other colleges weight like

  12. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    emcadams replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I def agree, RN in FL! I took a CNA class 6 months ago, but couldn't take my test bc I broke my ankle (in 3 places!!!)...so while it was my plan to have a year of experience bf nursing school, I'll...

  13. a 4.0 GPA does not help

    emcadams replied to adriano's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just found this on your school website: It doesn't seem like your school is necessarily random, just that they have so many applicants that meet their requirements, so they are forced to do a lottery....

  14. Anatomy and Physiology I

    emcadams replied to jdlabadia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I made a post on a different thread about something similar, but don't skimp on reading the book. READ THE BOOK. Read it like its your favorite romance novel. It takes me about 2-3 hours to read a...

  15. A&P 1

    emcadams replied to keeithh01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did your book come with an online learning site? Honestly, my A&P prof basically spoon fed us...but some people in the class were really struggling because they flat out did not read the book....

  16. Florida Gulf Coast University?

    emcadams replied to cgmom1's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just submitted my FGCU app for Fall 2012! I got a 94 on my TEAS. I used the ATI stuff just like you suggested, so thanks! I guess there is a pretty long wait to hear about it, though, but I am...

  17. Edison State College Nursing program 2012

    emcadams replied to NP2BJ's topic in Florida Nursing

    I went to an adivsor last week to go over starting my app for Summer/Fall. I heard that summer is less competitive than fall. I'll have all my prereqs done by May, so I am planning to apply for summer...

  18. Just took TEAS V! What was YOUR scoreh

    emcadams replied to tammy_zeidan09's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Took it yesterday. Got a 94% overall...92.9 in Reading, 100 in Math, 89.6 in Science, and 96.7 in English. Super proud of myself! Used the ATI testing manual and online tests. Studied for about 4-5...

  19. TEAS Test Prep

    emcadams replied to lilbrice's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Get the ATI Testing materials directly from the www.atitesting.com site. This is the site where you will go to take the actual exam, too. I purchased the TEAS version V (five) with the two online...

  20. FGCU Nursing Program Spring 2012

    emcadams replied to cdeming's topic in Florida Nursing

    SuperMeghan- On the FGCU website, it states that they look at the TEAS and overall GPA. They did the same to me and left off many classes from my previous degree that I had done well in...my prereqs...

  21. FGCU Nursing Program Spring 2012

    emcadams replied to cdeming's topic in Florida Nursing

    Just took the TEAS at FGCU...I got a 94 with an 89 in science. I exclusively used the materials provided by ATI Testing. I have a 4.0 (3.4 overall) in all my prereqs so far, so mostly this helped to...

  22. Low GPA? Is there hope??? YES! Read this! Possibilities attached!

    emcadams replied to Tela's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I highly encourage not attending For-profit private schools. They are a scam. I went to one for a year for Law School. I did very bad...my own fault. My husband (met at the school) did very well and...

  23. New TEAS V Science Section

    emcadams replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hey everyone. I ended up calling the school I will be taking the test at to find out how much time is alloted per section. The 30 minute mentioned by some previous posters appears to be incorrect....

  24. New TEAS V Science Section

    emcadams replied to nepthea's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    So how did you all end up doing on the TEAS?? :) Also, what are the time constraints on the test like? I am confused, as I have heard 30minutes/section and other info. However, my ATI study guide just...

  25. FGCU Nursing Program Spring 2012

    emcadams replied to cdeming's topic in Florida Nursing

    I was wondering the same thing...I have about a 3.3 overall...4.0 in prereqs. Haven't taken the TEAS, but studying for it now. I just got all the stuff from the ATI website. They make the test, so I...
