RNsRWe, thanks for that bit of advice! I'm a new student also and I'm just trying to figure out what to expect. 5 yrs ago when I was an EMT student at 18 I was so shy and I didn't ask anything! I feel like I missed out on so much. But now as I'm prep...

I'm getting a pair of Dansko's myself. My mom is a hairstylist, so long days of standing, and she loves them. I've also heard from other students and some nurses that they're the best!

Exactly what atchdee said.... I have a huge fear of failing because I'm not smart enough. But I try to remind myself that I got accepted into the program, which many people can't say, so there must be something in this big noggin of mine! Keep your c...

I volunteered at my local hospital (in Virginia) and I wasn't delivering flowers or anything like that. When I was in Mother and Baby, I mostly answered the phone, set up the rooms for new patients, loaded carts with supplies, and anything the nurses...

I'm super excited, also! But I have to wait until January to start my core classes. I found out I was accepted to my BSN program over a month ago and have already done my titers, ppd tests, CPR class, and ordered my book and scrubs for the Care Partn...

I personally would inform the instructor. Go to their office or speak with them when she isn't around. This is your competition for your program and it is not right that she is receiving grades she has not earned, and she could very well take a spot ...

Wow, what a great and true poem! Thank you for sharing!

If they are giving the TEAS V test, then its standard for everyone. ATI (the company responsible for the test) has a study guide but if you are taking the test this week you may not find it in time. Check Barnes and Noble or Books-A-Million for TEAS ...

Hi KatieBeth, Im near you! Im starting at Sentara's BSN program in Chesapeake in January, so I am brand spanking new too! Good luck to the both of us! Jolena

I really enjoyed Med Term. I took it after A&P because I decided to use it as my elective for my associates degree. I'm glad I took it because I'm able to use the knowledge I gained in there to better my understanding of new terms I'm introduced ...

Just read every question slowly and think through every answer. I know when I took it the time limit really made me feel like I had to rush, but I really had time to spare. Your test will not be identical to the first, but it may have some of the sam...

Oh, it was also the first time I applied to a program, its a BSN program.

I received 2 C's. One in A&p1 and one in Micro. That was after I failed A&p because I was going through some personal issues and for some really stupid reason I decided to just stopping going to class. The only reasons I got accepted into my ...

My parents and myself paid for my associates. I don't qualify for the Pell grant unfortunately. My awesomely wonderful amazing husband just transferred his GI Bill to me to pay for my BSN program. As stated above, "Go Navy!"

It depends on the program. One local program here averages the two grades. Another program (the one I'm starting in January) only looks at the highest grade you received. Also consider your test scores too. I had to retake a&p1 because I had a lo...

My friend told me they changed some stuff. So frustrating! And did they recently stop doing the teas testing because I did both of mine there the end of May. Anyways, good luck!! :)

I got an 83% I believe which put me in the 84th percentile for my school, and I was accepted with that score :)

Oh I also wanted to tell you if you didn't know already, you can definitely retake your classes. TCC averages your grades together for their program, but Sentara only looks at the HIGHEST grade you have. So if it would make you feel better, definitel...

Hi Alyssa, Im sorry to hear that you did not get in! But that just means more time to study right? I have a firend applying for the 2014 start date too, maybe you both will get in! Do you mind me asking what you got on your TEAS V test? Im very surpr...

I am nervous and excited all at the same time. Im excited to FINALLY be in after taking all my pre-reqs and finishing my associates degree, but Im nervous now because I feel like now its about to get REAL serious. Haha. I don't start my actual nursin...

Hi Alyssa, I just wanted to know if you got accepted or not, if you don't mind me asking. I got accepted to the program for the Jan 2013 start date and am just kind of looking around to see who my fellow students will be. :) Jolena
