    goemom replied to hopefulRN23's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry that this happened to you, but you shouldn't question your ability to become a nurse. NONE of us can judge you for your performance this semester. I'm in a two-year program. Last...

  4. Joliet Junior College Spring 2014 Program

    goemom replied to msreeree3's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I would try and get your score a little higher. It really wouldn't take much effort. Get the ATI book at least and understand the English and math sections. If you improve on those sections, your...

    Congrats on this awesome adventure that you are about to begin! I'm a 1st semester days student and have found the program to be rewarding and crazy and overwhelming and more. JJC has been amazing...

    goemom replied to yayi4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Wow! Do you come across this condescending and judgmental when you deal with your patients? "No, it doesn't kinda suck that you are obese and have diabetes, sir. What sucks is that you failed to...

  7. UGH!!!!! Leave me alone, I'm trying to study!!!!

    goemom replied to LoriRNCM's topic in General Students

    I agree with rubato. It may take time, but he'll get it eventually. One thing you can do is print out a calendar and those days that you for sure do not want anyone over, make those squares red....

    goemom replied to vicky82's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    This isn't very high. The National mean is 64.3%, so that would be the 50th percentile. For reading the national mean is 70.5%, math 69%, science 53.6% and english 63.8%. If you score the average...

  11. McGraw-Hill's "5 TEAS Practice Tests" book?

    goemom replied to RunnerRN2015's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    They won't be sufficient for the science section (should be sufficient for other sections), which can go into a lot of detail. While the McGraw Hill book is a better indicator of the science section...

  12. How do you keep yourself from quitting?

    goemom replied to PurplePRN's topic in General Students

    Unfortunately, those attitudes you will discover throughout your life. I'm in my forties and live in a community where sometimes I feel like we are in high school again. Initially, I tried so hard...

  13. How to make an A in a&p1?

    goemom replied to Apples9847's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What book are you using? We used the Martino (Pearson) book. I used the masteringa&p website a lot. The animations helped clarify the lectures. And the quizzes helped me guage how well I knew...

    goemom replied to PurplePRN's topic in General Students

    I'm in my early 40's, a mother of two boys ages 9 and 12 and just applied for JJC's program in the Fall. Any advice or anything you can say that'll help keep me motivated would be greatly...

    goemom replied to babyjyjy's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I don't know about the PSB, but here are some study tips. Don't take the ATI practice exams right away. Study the material in the ATI book and do the practice problems. IMO, the material in the ATI...

    goemom replied to goemom's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Don't let your scores discourage you. I read through a thread last semester - someone got in with a 79% in reading, 74% comp and 4.0 and someone else with a 79% reading, 72% comp and 4.0 GPA and...

  18. Practice Test vs. Actual Test

    goemom replied to umbdude's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If you do well on those exams, you will do well on the actual exam. The science in the ATI book is much easier than the exam. The science in the McGraw-Hill book is more detailed and will better...

  19. Got my TEAS guide today, science practice tests seem easy???

    goemom replied to Trenata's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I think the sections in the ATI book are similar to the actual exam, with the exception of the science section. The ATI book doesn't go into the detail that you need for the science section so I...
