  1. 30+ club! Lets do this together.

    I am 34 with 5 kiddos ages 6-15 and in my 4th semester. I've been going part time so I could concentrate on my pointed classes. I currently have a 4.0 and am currently taking Microbiology and my required college math. I turned in my app last month an...
  2. Took my TEAS V today...

    And I'm not sure what exactly to make of my results yet. On my results it says my program is PN but I'm applying for the ASN. Does anyone know if that makes a difference? Will I have to retake the test? Also, if I can use these results to apply fo...
  3. Waiting on acceptance/rejection letters

    I'm also going to be in the waiting boat. Our app deadlines are April 1 and letters don't get sent out until probably the first week of June. I'm only applying to one ASN program, if I don't get it I will try again in the fall for Spring 2014 but rea...
  4. Took my TEAS V today...

    Well I stopped in at the advising office today and they confirmed that it didn't matter. It's apparently defaulting to that since they started having everyone register online now. She also said that score is competitive in our program so I'm unsure w...
  5. I don't understand how to read the periodic table....

    Go to khanacademy.org very helpful! :)
  6. want to be nurse but have back probkems

    I guess it depends on what kind of back problems a person has as to whether they can do this job. I have degenerative disc disease and had a spinal fusion (a failed one at that) when I was 21 on my L5S1. I battle chronic pain every day; however, fo...
  7. Why nursing?

    I actually had decided when I was 12 years old that I not only wanted to be a nurse, but wanted to work in OB in a high risk unit. My aunt had given birth to a still born and the process of why it happened and what she went through, just really made...
  8. Took my TEAS V today...

    LOL I know that's why I haven't decided whether to retake it or not. I mean if 79% put me in the 96th percentile for our program, dare I even waste my money and time? If I knew I didn't need to I'd rather spend my time getting my final A's in A&...
  9. I got a 79% over all and have a current GPA of 4.0. Taking my last 2 pre req's now (A&P 2 and Psyc 101). My break down was Reading-85.7% Math-86.7% Science-62.5% English-86.7%. I am going to retake it. I've never had a day of chemistry in my life...
  10. Took my TEAS V today...

    I'm jealous! I wish we had it that way. My school takes each subsection for points. I just don't know if they will even use my score since it says PN and not ASN. I contacted ATI and they said the test is the same for both but said it would be up to ...
  11. Human Biology and GPA Question

    Khan Academy has been my BFF for things I need further detailed explanations on.
  12. How do you fellows study?

    I read ahead, record lectures, copy down any drawings my teacher does, and I re-read in small sections. Once I know one section forward and backwards, I'll move onto another small portion. Also, khan academy for things I really need to visualize (I'm...

  14. I have no faith in myself

    Ugh, well I did finish everything, but not sure if I should be happy. I got a 79%. Break down is Reading- 86% Math-87% Science-63% and English-87%. I felt a little relieved to see the average for our program and national (i ranked 96 within the pro...
  15. I have no faith in myself

    I have tried to take all the advice I've seen posted here, and have studied for 3 weeks and I just don't know what else to do. I score well on the practice tests in the ATI study guide, but when I do the online practice tests I can't get over 70. I'm...
  16. taking psyc 2301

    I'm taking intro to psychology this semester as well. Only had one class so far but it seems likes it's going to be a fun class. My instructor is also a PhD and sometimes a little goofy but over all pretty awesome.
  17. I have no faith in myself

    Well that stinks : ( I'm so sorry you didn't get the results you wanted. I redid test B and got 77% so I guess it's progress.... Ugh! I hope you have better luck on the retake. Did your results show Ivy Tech's program average? I'm really curious abo...
  18. Where do you want to work?

    My dream job would be to work in OB at Vanderbilt. That's a looooong way off, but eventually I'd love to be there. All the area hospitals around my current area are great so I'll be thrilled to get in any dept. with those hospitals with the hopes o...
  19. I have no faith in myself

    Well that might explain why my second online attempt was switched in the Science and English sections, I did test B that time. Classes started this week so I'm trying not to let myself get frazzled by studying for classes and preparing for the TEAS....
  20. I have no faith in myself

    Wishing you a lot of luck!!!! I hope you'll come back and let me know how the real deal compares to the actual test. I redid my online practice test and got a 71% which is up from my first 66%. I actually scored higher on the science than the first t...
  21. Who started studying yet?

    I am and I'm not, I have my TEAS test next Friday so I've been studying for that. I have A&P 102 this spring semester so I read a little bit in a few chapters to prepare for the TEAS but that's about it. I wanted to do more but I'm just far too s...
  22. What was your Pre-req GPA?

    I am 33, mom to 5 kids ages 5-15 with a current GPA of 4.0. I have my last 3 pre req's this spring semester (A&P 2, PSYC 101 and college algebra). Taking my TEAS on the 18th and more nervous about scoring well enough on that then getting my remai...
  23. I have no faith in myself

    Thanks, it's a new day and I have renewed hope I think. I just took the practice test #1 from the back of the ATI book and got an 88% for science and 70% for English. There's just such a huge difference in level for the science from the book to the o...
  24. I DID IT!!!!!!

    I am taking my TEAS test on Jan 18th and then I submit my application after that. It's so nerve racking! I have all A's thus far and need A's in my A&P 2 and PSYC 101 this semester for a good shot. Our apps are due by April 1st and then they wil...
