  1. Confused about a dimensional analysis question

    Trenata replied to Trenata's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok, thank you - maybe I don't have a good book because this has happened twice now. I will check out that site you posted! I just need to know some very basic dosage calculations for my pre-entrance...

  2. Q's about UTA AP

    Trenata replied to klm8489's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    The partner hospitals are in Texas. So, you cannot live in Georgia and do the nursing program at

  3. Do you have any memory tricks for DNA & RNA nitrogen bases?

    Trenata replied to pmabraham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    pyrimidines - CUT

  4. What made you decide to go for ASN or BSN?

    Trenata replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am applying for an ADN program because it is considerably less expensive and because they have clinical locations near my home, which gives me the opportunity to get my foot in the door at a local...

  5. Nursing student being abused by teacher and staff

    Trenata replied to kyliel's topic in General Students

    I agree, record all interactions with this teacher and keep a complete record of all that is going on and bring it to a higher

  6. NCTC ADN Fall 2013

    Trenata replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    In my last post, I meant *in time for registration.* I am getting up in the morning to hopefully register for A&P II with Elrod and Dev Psych. I decided to do A&P II on campus at Corinth. I...

  7. NCTC ADN Fall 2013

    Trenata replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know if anyone will get this in time, but do you work with dissection and specimens in A&P II. One reason I wanted online is to avoid working with cadavers or animal specimens and the...

  8. Am I stupid for not doing the ABSN?

    Trenata replied to ruby1989's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally think that is a very smart idea. Take your time! I think a lot of individuals choose accelerated programs due to financial need and time constraints, not just because they have a previous...

  9. How hard is nursing school for the student who is average or below at math & science?

    Trenata replied to kelkel587's topic in General Students

    I got a book called, Davis's Basic Math for Nurses (works from very basic math through algebra) and a Basic Drug Calculations book. When ever I sit down and do math, for some reason, I make silly...

  10. NCTC ADN Fall 2013

    Trenata replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    That's a bummer - it seems like a degree would count for something! I think if I get all A's on my next 3 classes I will have 11 or 12 points - however, I thought they said on the website that the...

  11. NCTC ADN Fall 2013

    Trenata replied to jls0459's topic in School, College Programs

    I would love to hear what you all think about the Kaplan exam once you take it. I hope to apply to start in the Fall of 2014. I like the sound of the program esp. since some of the clinical sites are...

  12. Mean/Competitive nursing school classmates

    Trenata replied to cowgirl_RN's topic in General Students

    I hope that is not the case for nursing school! I think it depends on who you surround yourself with if life ends up that way! That is by no means my life now. From the sounds of it, at the nursing...

  13. 2013 GPA

    Trenata replied to C.Angel's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For a non private university in Texas, at least the DFW area, the GPA is above 3.5. I was looking around at local schools. My GPA will be a 3.7 if I receive all A's form here on out. For instance, TWU...

  14. Gaining weight

    Trenata replied to BSNinprogress22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I found myself sitting on my bum reading all day and feeling really bad doing it. So I rigged up my treadmill with a shelf over the handle bars so that I can walk slowly while reading. I study online...

  15. Not transferring grades over

    Trenata replied to andendeavor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They have a way of knowing that you attended other colleges or universities and would consider academic dishonesty if you didn't provide all

  16. What is an internship/residency?

    Trenata posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    I stumbled across this section one day and see many newly graduated nurses applying for internships or residency. What does that mean? Is this a required thing to do in Texas once you have graduated...

  17. If you went to WGU and then on to NP school, where?

    Trenata replied to dandk1997RN's topic in Western Governors University

    I think your best bet would be to call the particular NP programs you are interested in and ask if they accept WGU's BSN which only gives you a 3.0 on your transcript. I wish I knew the answer too,...

  18. What are typical clinical shifts for DFW?

    Trenata replied to dfwbsndude's topic in Western Governors University

    The impression my adviser gave me is that there isn't much flexibility because you work the same shift as your nurse preceptor. So, whatever his/her schedule is what you have to do. However, this...

  19. Anyone taken the Kaplan

    Trenata posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Has anyone taken the Kaplan nursing entrance exam? There isn't a lot of info on how to study for the exam? From what I have read on AN so far, the study guide isn't very useful. I would love to hear...

  20. Uta 100% online bsn academic partnership

    Trenata replied to marcopolo's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am in the AP BSN program pre-nursing...at least for the pre-nursing part, you do not get as much help as you would on campus. You have to be a good self learner for sure. I don't know about the...

  21. Anyone taken the Kaplan

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

    Thank you Nicoleo13 that does help! Neurology was the hardest part of A&P I for me and I kind of didn't work as hard to learn that info! I guess I will need to review that a lot since there were...

  22. Older, heavy, first year nursing student needs advise

    Trenata replied to Mgaytan175's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Start walking as much as you can to work yourself up to being fit for nursing school. That is what I am doing. I am overweight...I am doing what I can now to get

  23. UTA AP BSN Books

    Trenata posted a topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I have a lot of books required for the pre-nursing part of the program. I have used several but not all of them. Where is a good place to sell them? I tried posting on E-bay with no success. The last...

  24. Anyone taken the Kaplan

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

    Thanks amd23. Did you find any word problems on the exam? Luckily I am taking A&PII this coming semester, so I am really going to try to get it

  25. Testing out of A&P

    Trenata replied to beccaboo322's topic in General Students

    You need A&P! Just buckle down and do it. It is hard to wait, but this is foundational
