  4. UMass Boston Spring 2016

    studentbear replied to Lulu Belle's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I wouldn't fret ~too~ much about the taking the TEAS in your situation, I took it prior to taking either A&P 1 or 2 and still managed a "proficient." My weak areas were grammar, human/life...

  7. Plan B!

    studentbear replied to Determined2017's topic in General Nursing

  9. CNA or RN?!?

    studentbear replied to PinkSparklez's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    We overestimate what we can do in a year, but we underestimate what we can do in ten years. Begin with your CNA and gain valuable experience, while continuing to chip away at your

  13. When to start studying?

    studentbear replied to JePierreB's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    After you've finished your pre-reqs, I'd give yourself a solid 2 months to review. The TEAS V is basically a review of all your pre reqs (biology, microbiology, a&p, chemistry, algebra, english,...

  15. Monster of Pre-Requisites

    studentbear replied to ctaylar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  18. Best American Healthcare University

    studentbear replied to studentbear's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thanks for the feedback. I definitely was getting some sketchy vibes from it, that's why I thought I'd ask and see if anybody had gone through their program. I've looked and actually the closest thing...

  21. First CNA job!

    studentbear replied to secretsunflower's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    1) Focus on doing your tasks thoroughly, not quickly. Speed will come with time, just be patient with yourself. 2) Lift correctly every time. It only takes one bad lift to injure your back and put...

  23. How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    studentbear replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

  24. Statistics and Microbiology

    studentbear replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've yet to take micro, but I've already taken statistics and loved it (I got an A.) It's not so much math as understanding the problem you are reading, and then deciding which formula to use to...

    studentbear replied to mbtsab's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The number one behavior modification that has helped me with procrastinating is I made a rule for myself. That rule is if it's something I don't want to do, especially if I feel it's particularly...
