  1. Going back to nursing school

    tas026 posted a topic in General Students

    In 2011, right after graduating from high school, I started at a local nursing school. That is all I wanted to do at the time, and I really enjoyed school in the beginning. I passed with flying...

    tas026 posted a topic in General Students

    Last semester, I finished my 1st semester of clinicals and did pretty well. At the end of break, I decided to leave my nursing classes. I'm only doing gen eds right now. I thought I wanted to transfer...

  5. Where should I go?!

    tas026 replied to danielleshea2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would send an e-mail or leave a message to ask her if you can set up an appointment with her to talk about the nursing program. Just don't sound threatening, just sound interesting. Just tell her...

  6. Nursing students i need your help!!!

    tas026 replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not sure if I understand your question correctly. It wasn't really a job, but instead I just found a nurse that would allow me to follow him or her for the day. My high school helped me find the...

  7. Am I doing the right thing?

    tas026 replied to createsomechange's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here was my point of view: During my 1st semester of nursing school, I felt like I was completely overwhelmed. I was putting in 18 hour days everyday of the week between school, homework, studying,...

  8. For those who took A&P

    tas026 replied to lanebr85's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wouldn't read into it too much to determine how successful you will be in your nursing courses. Honestly, the only time I've seen half of the stuff that we learned in A&P is in A&P! It is...

  9. Advice for an unsure pre-nursing student

    tas026 replied to blueyzz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you sure that they won't count your credits? I've heard that some schools consider the credits if you have graduated with a bachelors in something vs. if you just have random science credits. As...

  10. Help! I want to be a nurse! But I have alot of questions!

    tas026 replied to Aransome's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. How hard was TEAS, and what was covered? My school did not require me to take the TEAS! :yelclap: 2. How much math do you really need as a nurse? In school, I had to take a clinical mathematics...

  11. So sad/so sweet at the same time

    tas026 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    This is the much better alternative to what happened to my great grandmother! My great grandfather died about 12 years ago. My great gma would constantly say that she can't wait to die because she has...

  12. A&P 1 Lab Partners

    tas026 replied to southphilly_chic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been in the same boat as you! I am someone who would prefer to just do everything on my own so that I can get the grade that I personally deserve. My A&P group decided that we would all do...

  13. Where should I go?!

    tas026 replied to danielleshea2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i believe that the nclex pass rate really only half way reflects the program that you are in. you could be in an amazing school but just be getting by and then fail the nclex. likewise, you could be...

  14. Essay about suicide

    tas026 replied to tlc1986's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would not write about this being a recent event. Describe it as being something that is in your past. Be truthful, but I wouldn't just out and say that it's something that happened two weeks ago. If...

  15. Getting into nursing school. Need help!

    tas026 replied to 2bmalenurse2012's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with everyone else, ADN courses can actually be MORE challenging than BSN courses because you will be learning all of the same things just in a shorter amount of time. The only real difference...

  16. Letters of Recommendation

    tas026 replied to am207's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Letters of recommendation from any medical professional really will do you wonders! Two out of three of my letters of recommendation were written by nurses. I think that schools love to see that you...

    tas026 replied to SewVintage's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    tas026 replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello again! You can volunteer or job shadow at your local hospital. I'm not sure where you are located, but you can look up your hospital's website, find the e-mail address for the volunteer...

  19. Nursing students i need your help!!!

    tas026 replied to futurenurse1248's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am on the east coast as well, and I just graduated high school in 2011. Your GPA really isn't all that low to be honest with you! My GPA when I graduated was 3.7, but it was probably closer to what...

  20. School's NCLEX pass rates, PLEASE help!

    tas026 replied to danielleshea2011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe that the NCLEX pass rate really only half way reflects the program that you are in. You could be in an amazing school but just be getting by and then fail the NCLEX. Likewise, you could be...

  21. New Pre Nursing student

    tas026 replied to ginna121's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My best advice would be to look into different colleges that you would consider going to for nursing school. Even if the school you're at has a program, don't bank on getting into it if it's...

  22. Lancaster General College of Nursing Reviews PLEASE?

    tas026 replied to rookie1's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yeah, the prospect of school-especially after being out for a while-can be pretty scary! I wouldn't be too nervous about it though because even people just out of high school are just as nervous, if...

  23. Going back to nursing school

    tas026 replied to tas026's topic in General Students

    Capricorn, I'm thinking you're right. I think I just keep feeling nostalgic because I just think about my clinical experiences. In the 15 weeks on the clinical floor, I was lucky enough to NEVER have...

  24. Lancaster General College of Nursing Reviews PLEASE?

    tas026 replied to rookie1's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I think for your semester, you will be able to pick your own classes. I know that the school chose mine, but they are using a new program this year. As for missing, I knew someone who did, and she...

  25. Lancaster General College of Nursing Reviews PLEASE?

    tas026 replied to rookie1's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Rookie1, I'm not sure if you will ever get this message, but I figured I would post it anyway. I am assuming that you haven't completed any pre-reqs. For 1st semester, there are two different clinical...
