  1. ATI DVD - during nursing school

    RubySlippers06 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the info!! I am having trouble finding them again on the ATI site. However, I did find them on amazon for $70. Unfortunately, they are from 2007 so I think I will pass LOL This is a link...

  2. TEAS vs Kaplan Entrance Exam

    RubySlippers06 replied to RjSmithTec's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took both, didn't study for either (don't recommend that!). I scored an over 79 on the Kaplan and an 82 on the TEAS V. Out of my school and the other people I talked to, I scored higher than average...

  3. finally on the nursing path

    RubySlippers06 replied to mrsoly2010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    First off, let me just say YAAAYYYYY!!!! I am so happy for you!! Personally, I know that feeling all too well! I had to stop school twice and turn down a program after I was accepted and had already...

  4. I just want the letter!

    RubySlippers06 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh man! I guess that at least keeps you from checking your email every 15 minutes. Let us know what happens and good

  6. APSU, any info?

    RubySlippers06 posted a topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Hey all! My family is getting ready to move to the Clarksville area and I am transferring to APSU from Texas. I'm trying to find information on what the program is like, but there isn't any out...

  7. APSU, any info?

    RubySlippers06 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    I got accepted, too! Also, I went on to give myself a hypothetical schedule as well LOL I am so excited and patience is a skill I do not seem to possess. We will get all our info by July 1, according...

  8. How long did it take you to do your prerequisites?

    RubySlippers06 replied to carys's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Three semesters. However, I had been going for 2 years before that but I was double majoring in something else. That gave me all the gen ed requirements. I only needed my science classes, and a few...

  9. Starting a family during nursing school or after?

    RubySlippers06 replied to God'sLittleNurse2b's topic in General Students

    I would wait until you are done with school. You know how hard college can be bc you have a degree. However, NS is different. Also, you don't know how you will react to pregnancy. With my first...

  10. Pre-Nursing MOMS Unite!

    RubySlippers06 replied to ASN2016's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey all! I am getting ready to start a program in August! We have two children, 7 & 4, and three furbabies. My husband is in the military and is away frequently. I'm hoping to be able to do all...

  11. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RubySlippers06 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I was joking because OP has mentioned another nurse when she was in the hospital and was upset she didn't get the customer service she thought was deserved. The nurse had a tattoo behind her ear and...

  12. To scramble for experience, or relax?

    RubySlippers06 replied to datalore's topic in General Students

    I would check out your job market. Also, after your health assessment course, you can usually work as a CNA/PCT. That may save you some $$ paying for a program. I'd also try to get a job as a PCT in a...

  13. How much was your book set?

    RubySlippers06 replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in General Students

    This is my first semester at this school so I may find cheaper options down the road. However, they have books specifically for their school and you need that version - only to be found in their...

  14. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RubySlippers06 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    You guys are horrible! LOL I will say, curiosity got the best of me and I looked back at OP's other threads. If she saw me in person, I am sure she wouldn't even hear my opinion or advice. She'd be...

  15. Volunteering

    RubySlippers06 replied to Hailbop16's topic in General Students

    It could only help you! Just make sure that you are super professional when you are there and have the best attitude. I used to volunteer every summer at a hospital. I started when I was 15 and...

  16. Mom & Nursing Student

    RubySlippers06 replied to KnottyNurse17's topic in General Students

    Does anyone on here also work? I am hoping to obtain a PCT position to help us out with my school expense. I just don't know if I will be able to handle school, work, and be the mom my kids are used...

  17. In need of advice

    RubySlippers06 replied to CurlyLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you, I would step back and think of what you actually want to do. Two of the things you listed will require a BSN. If you absolutely need that financial aid, don't finish your current...

    RubySlippers06 replied to Dezi919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats!! I am starting this fall, too! It's so very exciting and I cannot wait to get

  19. What's a good Kaplan score? Just submitted application (Nursing Entrance Exam)

    RubySlippers06 replied to RjSmithTec's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In one program, I got a 79 on Kaplan (didn't study at all) and I was accepted. Another program, I scored an 82 on the TEAS (again, horrible study habits) and I got accepted. It really just depends on...

  20. Class Schedule Dilemma

    RubySlippers06 replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How are you with science? If you are good, as in best subject good, I think you will be okay. It also depends on your school. Micro at my school was a BEAST! My professor really cared and was awesome...

  21. What do you like/dislike about Pre-Nursing?

    RubySlippers06 replied to giraffe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dislike: The biggest thing I found annoying was that as soon as someone asked what you were studying, and you said nursing, they'd say something like, "Wait, are you actually IN a program?" Also, A...

  22. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RubySlippers06 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    Exactly!

  23. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RubySlippers06 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    I, too, grew up with a Negative Nancy - to the extreme!! Some days are harder than others, but it has been getting easier with

  24. I just want the letter!

    RubySlippers06 replied to RubySlippers06's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is awesome!! Talk about a huge sigh of relief! I cannot wait to get started! Did anyone get any other info? My old program gave me a huge list of next-step items. This school - congratulations,...

  25. Clinical drama-question about personal property

    RubySlippers06 replied to chiasmus100's topic in General Students

    ...you have a ton of comments on here; so I am not so sure my two cents will be beneficial, but here it is. You remind me a lot of myself, back in the day. Therefore, I will tell you a story about...
