  1. The fear just hit me - help :(

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    You know, in addition to my Celiac, I also have PCOS and very low vit D. My physician put me on four weeks of super-concentrated prescription vit D pills a couple months ago; I really should ask for a...

  2. Should I become a nurse for the money??

    RainbowDash replied to Wot chick's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First of all, basing your career decisions on what "everyone says" is one of the WORST things you can do. People say all sorts of ridiculous garbage; most of the time they are totally ignorant as to...

  3. What school and how competive?

    RainbowDash replied to rokbe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may want to take a look at private school options. I myself managed to score really well on the TEAS V with only six days prep time, and had my formal interview with the dean of the NP at my...

  4. Took my TEAS V this morning, first try.

    RainbowDash posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    So I found out 2 weeks ago that if I wanted to, I could sit the TEAS and potentially enroll in the ADN program starting on the 27th at Keiser University Melbourne. Keiser is different than most...

  5. Took my TEAS V this morning, first try.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Not personally, but I have met some really great nurses while I was a patient in Holmes Regional who were Keiser grads, and they said they loved it and that it is a great school. I had my formal...

    Thank you for this - I am going to get this ASAP! it can't hurt!!! I have Celiac Disease (only found out two months ago) and it makes my diet SO much harder.. so much... it is not easy especially if...

  7. Took my TEAS V this morning, first try.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I used the TEAS V study guide published by ATI. It was my bible. I did both practice exams in the back as well as the practice questions included throughout the text. It is a great resource.

  8. Took my TEAS V this morning, first try.

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The Adjusted Individual Total Score is your overall score on the exam. Then you are graded by section, and under each section's grade it lists each component of the section and your grade for each,...

  9. The fear just hit me - help :(

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Thank you - all of you. You have helped me feel a LOT better. I don't know why it hit me as an issue, I never even thought about it while I was in Medical Assisting school... and nobody cared there,...

  12. The fear just hit me - help :(

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Well, here's hoping! I have bigger fish to fry than worrying about what people think about my weight anyway.. I still can't believe I made it.... I'm so scared, but I *know* I can do it, as long as...

  13. The fear just hit me - help :(

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    Thank you very much; this makes me feel a bit better. Today has just been a raw pile of emotions - I just sat my TEAS this a.m. for pity's sake, LOL.... they said my scores were so impressive that...

  14. The fear just hit me - help :(

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in General Students

    It's not even that I'm particularly down on it, although yes, I have been trying to progress towards a weight loss goal. The purpose of my thread is not to cry about my weight, but to simply state hey...

  15. Crash course in TEAS information - ALL help welcome PLEASE

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I have the TEAS V Study Guide by ATI, the NLN PAX-RN book which is also useful information, and the McGraw Hill 5 TEAS Practice Tests. I have NINE DAYS LEFT. My test date is Aug 11 at 930 am. Pray for...

  16. Crash course in TEAS information - ALL help welcome PLEASE

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My major problem is I haven't taken a single pre-requisite class. No bio, no math, no A&P, nothing. Keiser requires TEAS scores before admittance PERIOD, meaning I take my pre-reqs AFTER I've been...

  17. ADN program requires laptop purchase?

    RainbowDash posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello! I have registered at Indian River State College with the hopes of being accepted into their ADN program, and then their BSN program. While reading the total cost breakdown of the ADN program...

  18. To all of you who have obviously made it into nursing school...

    RainbowDash posted a topic in General Students

    The state college I've chosen to drive to (45 mins away, no less) has a competitive selection process, and it states on the packet that they give preference to in-county residents of the four counties...

  19. How is One to Make it as a Nursing Student and Parent

    RainbowDash replied to cjones89's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    FA issues aside, I would think very, VERY carefully about choosing Keiser as your ADN program. They may make you take some pre-requisite classes you have not had before and all pre-reqs are on a five...

  20. Should I become a CNA while I'm taking my 2 years of prerequisites for RN School?

    RainbowDash replied to Kaley_G4466's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would definitely do it if you can. I am considering challenging the exam here in FL and doing it myself, if for no reason other than to gain valuable medical experience - the word on the street is...

  21. How do you afford /pay for school?

    RainbowDash replied to GodIs082010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just do the Pell Grants and government loans since on the FAFSA my EIC is 0, I'm rather lucky... but I was in a private university before when I was doing Medical Assisting and I had to take out...

  22. ADN program requires laptop purchase?

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's good to know! And ebailey, I never thought about being paperless... the combo of powerpoint lectures and using Microsoft OneNote to take notes has the potential to render the traditional pen...

  23. ADN program requires laptop purchase?

    RainbowDash replied to RainbowDash's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I searched for some answers to my question prior to posting and there was a thread on here from 08 where one student had to pay 1k to her school for a laptop - it HAD to be the one THEY gave her and...
