  1. I will never get into a nursing school

    lovedijah replied to blez's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The Teas is hard. Don't feel bad. I'm still in disbelief when people score 92's on this test. The average at my school is a 58. So either the test is really hard or yeah.. the test is really hard. Are...

  2. Why did/are you getting your BSN?

    lovedijah replied to thesundowner's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I have a bachelors in non science and have decided to go for LPN. When it's time for me to bridge, I'll be able to use my husband's GI Bill. If I had to pay for a BSN myself, I wouldn't get one. Sure,...

  3. Nursing School Realistically

    lovedijah replied to Tutz926's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in the same boat, but my husband is VERY supportive. He sees that when I win, he wins. If I'm happy, he's happy. Hang in there. However, there are days when I feel guilt and so much pressure for...

  4. AD VS BSN to start off...

    lovedijah replied to OriginalWingNut's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    If all your stars are perfectly aligned and you get into all schools you apply to and money isn't an issue and you don't need to work ASAP.. I would go for the BSN. You can get it over and done with...

  5. Why do mean/crabby people become nurses??

    lovedijah replied to R!XTER's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've been a restaurant manager, furniture store salesperson, waitress, worked in retail, managed a mental facility and much more. I've done so many things and theres always been miserable people at...

  6. LPN not taken serious

    lovedijah replied to chach1's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I think it's human nature to 1 up people in our society. Doctors do it. My friend is a pediatrician and that's not seen as "challenging" or "a real doctor" to some people. My husband is military and...

  7. Family...my OWN family...discourages me from nursing...

    lovedijah replied to Jc1982's topic in General Students

    I'm not working now and people have lots to say about it. My theory? If you arent paying my bills it shouldn't be of any concern to you what I do, unless I'm asking you for money. My husband is OK...

  8. The Benefits And Drawbacks Of Private For-Profit Schools

    lovedijah replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I'm shocked that people pay $132,000 (plus interest) for a BSN. That's insane. Yet, some of these schools allow you to start 6 times a year. In the time you spend waiting to get into a public school,...

  9. New grad working as office assistant in Dr. office?

    lovedijah replied to miniangel729's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think volunteering will be good. It will help to put you out there. Maybe you can network. At minimum, you'll get to go a hospital and feel productive. Can't hurt. I'm not sure the office assistant...

  10. Changing careers

    lovedijah replied to MAMAYBE's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You need to find a way out of your job. If money is not a concern.. pursue MA. If money is an issue and you don't want to make 12-14 an hour, I'd purse something else. I don't think you should choose...

  11. Is my stated interest ruining my chances??

    lovedijah replied to jamie.glaze's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can see 100% what you mean by having a plan... but... Its competitive. Say there's someone out there with the same qualifications as you. Similar resume. BUT their interests are related to the unit...

  12. Advice and info on loans and debt.

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

    Knowing what I know now.. I would say work as much as you can, up until the point it interferes with school. On the flip side, lots of people can't work and go to school. But if you can manage it.....

  13. How important is experience?

    lovedijah replied to hellosun's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it all depends on what program you apply to. I've seen direct entry programs that won't consider you unless you are a CNA. I've seen some applications where there is no space to even write...

  14. 35 years old with 3 kids and thinking about nursing

    lovedijah replied to plutomickey1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For what its worth.. I'm 26 with NO kids and still have my worries. I think its normal to question yourself. Point is- you can definately do whatever you want to do, as cliche as that sounds. Good...

  15. So confused...

    lovedijah replied to katyb213's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    If you absolutely hate it and think you can go back to the other place.. GO!! I don't think you'll learn or benefit from a place that makes you miserable. If you're at work everyday miserable, explore...

  16. Need some help. Insight, support, just something

    lovedijah replied to jamie.glaze's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I can really offer no advice, but.. you've survived so many things. Most people would have given up long ago. Something has to give, and it will!!! Hang in there. Like others have said- maybe you can...

  17. Need help deciding what path to take...

    lovedijah replied to loveofmedicine's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If loans isn't what you want to do.. get the ADN and work your way through school. In 90% of cases that will be the cheapest route. Work and put yourself through school for BSN and MSN. People will...

  18. Summer students, sound-off...

    lovedijah replied to TraumaJunkyEMT's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Im taking A&P and Nutrition. Hoping to get into the LPN program and start in the fall. If not.. looks like I'll be taking BIO2 and Statistics in Fall to buy more time before nursing

  19. Barely passed Teas for Texas Woman's Univ -- is there still hope?

    lovedijah replied to 1luvofnursing's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I can't really comment on that school, but try not to worry. Easier said than done I know. The reading part killed me too. I was all "I got this. I got this". Next thing I know I look up and time is...

  20. Chem 1 vs Bio 1

    lovedijah replied to SEW94's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you'd be better off taking BIO. With all the other bio requirements, it seems BIO1 would be a good

  21. Too FAT to be a nurse?

    lovedijah replied to Prtar1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think people have been talking crap since 1761 about other people and its not stopping anytime soon. If you want to be a nurse, be a nurse. If you think you should lose weight, lose weight. But I...

  22. Teas V Exam HELP PLEASE!!!!!

    lovedijah replied to Michelle601's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Like the other poster said, study for Reading and Language. I am VERY good in both subjects and only got a 81 on Reading and let's not even talk about Language. Just look over that. For that section I...
