    You mean the TEAS test? I've never taken that so don't know anything about it. Are you applying to the one in

    Is working as a CNA beneficial?

    Faeriewand replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    Getting a job as a CNA while in nursing school was the best thing I ever did for my education. When I came back from summer break I had a great deal more confidence because I had more experience...

    Jobs while in school??

    Faeriewand replied to wbrantle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a homecare job just one day a week 12 hours where I could study but it was so boring I quit. Got a CNA job and working my butt off but I was learning too. :) Got EMT training and saw they have...

    Can anyone suggest ideas for volunteering?

    Faeriewand replied to CNAinNeb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The University in San Diego requires patient contact experience in some way. I volunteer at a hospital nearby in the ER and there volunteers do some hands on stuff, esp if the staff gets to know you...

    Faeriewand posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You've finished your pre-reqs and finally got your name on the wait list. Now what? What will you do while you are waiting? What have you done? Got any tips for others? Here's some of mine....

    LOL I can't! I have to take these classes to get into the next program! Plus I'm not 20 years old and have the time to wait on life. And I like keeping

    I just graduated LVN school and as soon as I take the NCLEX I am signing up for Statistics so when I want to pursue BSN I'll be ready. :) I just have to take Microbiology in the Fall and then I can...

    Abused by a patient

    Faeriewand replied to BloomGirl's topic in General Nursing

    If pt were A&OX3 why not press assault charges? This would turn some heads at the hospital for sure. Don't think they'd like the bad

    Faeriewand replied to rnwithtof's topic in General Nursing

    I took EMT during the summer while I was in nursing school. It helped a lot because some things I didn't know and learned there. Then when I went back to school I knew the things they hadn't taught...

    Wow 3 month study plan!?!

    Faeriewand posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    After I graduated I took an NCLEX prep course that comes highly recommended. We had to sign a contract and made out a study plan and mine didn't end until April! So I made out another plan that...

    Wow 3 month study plan!?!

    Faeriewand replied to Faeriewand's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We are only using the two Saunders books. No I don't think my program prepared me to take the NCLEX. The questions are more difficult. If I didn't have the one week review course I don't know....

    Faeriewand replied to rmfrier's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I do not agree with the posters that are implying that somehow this is your fault. It has nothing to do with you. Saying that the other person thinks they are better than you is a classic textbook...

    CA NCLEX retakes?

    Faeriewand replied to canadaincali's topic in California Nursing

    I just checked out that nclex tutorial website and it looks great. It is $100 cheaper than the class I have to take for the nclex-pn too that I am starting next

    A little assertiveness training would be helpful in these situations. It teaches you how to stand up for yourself while not going overboard or getting rude when someone is giving it to you. :) Good...

    Faeriewand replied to 2bNurseNik's topic in General Students

    Another route to go might be LVN. That's what I did. I knew that going to college for nursing would be writing a lot of essays (the description said so) and I really didn't want to do that. I...

    Faeriewand replied to vpfeffer's topic in LPN to RN

    Yup I agree with Jules A. And getting your employer to help pick up the tab for school is a real plus! I read other posts that said that because they were LVN/LPN first that school was easier for them...
