    Texas Tech Nursing School for BSN Spring 2017

    Irish_Mist replied to oliviaaagracee's topic in General Students

    I applied for the 2nd degree BSN program. I was shocked to find out I was actually accepted! I start in January 2016 with the Dallas cohort. Have you taken the teas? Scoring well on that may offset a...

    So fed up with my coworker

    Irish_Mist replied to Rainy day RN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Having children isn't an "excuse" to not pick up more shifts. That is so offensive it isn't funny. I guarantee you she knows you and your co-workers talk about her. People can usually pick up on that...

    Have you looked into domestic violence shelters in your area? I'm sure they would have some answers for you. Hugs to

    Don't like nursing at all, what can I do with my BSN?

    Irish_Mist replied to lostrnugh's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I wouldn't give up on nursing after only 6 months. Perhaps you're in a speciality that's just not your cup of tea. Have you considered floating to other

    help with chemistry

    Irish_Mist replied to C_Bay's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would suggest watching the Khan Academy YouTube chemistry videos. Those videos are very useful in clearing up topics that many students struggle with. Have you tried making flash cards? Writing...

    Jealous Friends...

    Irish_Mist replied to Upward_Bound's topic in School, College Programs

    Why are you mad that someone wants you pursue nursing after being inspired by you? How does that equate to taking your job? You aren't even in nursing school yet so surely this job you speak of...

    Jealous Friends...

    Irish_Mist replied to Upward_Bound's topic in School, College Programs

    You sound like you have a lot of growing up to do. To think of your friends as being jealous of you or copying you is juvenile at best and narcissistic at worst. It sounds so middle school and petty....

    Irish_Mist replied to Syadin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It honestly depends on the school. Some schools consider withdrawals, others do not. You can find admissions criteria on the school website or by simply asking an admissions counselor /advisor. Life...

    What was your experience like in nursing school? I have a lot of questions!

    Irish_Mist replied to xmilkncookiesx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your post consists of roughly 40 questions. I'm not sure you're going to get a lot of feedback with so many detailed questions. I'd condense your post a bit if I were you. Just a suggestion....

    Who really wants BSN degrees?

    Irish_Mist replied to demford's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Assuming you've been enrolled in this class since August and it's almost November, it makes absolutely no sense to drop the class now. My advice is to suck it up and finish. Having said all that, if...

    Tips for Nursing entrance exams

    Irish_Mist replied to hearthappiness's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have taken the teas and hesi. The teas is significantly harder than the hesi. Having said that, spend the extra money and buy the study guide and practice test directly from the the evolve website....

    Is WGU taken seriously in the healthcare world?

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Western Governors University

    How do all the seasoned RNs view WGU? I know online schools have a reputation of being diploma mills but this is a non profit school that seems to have a good reputation. I'm interested in their...

    Why is it so hard to get A's?

    Irish_Mist replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking organic chemistry before gen chem is like taking calculus before algebra. It doesn't seem like the best way to set students up for success academically speaking if a school allows students to...

    Why is it so hard to get A's?

    Irish_Mist replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Taking organic chemistry before 2 semesters of general chemistry is not a smart move at all. How do you expect to have a foundational knowledge of chemistry by skipping the very basics of it and...

    Low GPA applying to Direct Entry NP

    Irish_Mist replied to emmageo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I could be wrong but I don't think there is a such thing as a direct entry NP program. Every single NP program I've looked into required a BSN and current licensure as a registered nurse. If your goal...

    Irish_Mist replied to CMAS's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    My suggestion is to spend the money and buy the study guide and online practice exam access from ATI. Doing that helped me tremendously. I only took the test once and passed with a 76. I could have...

    Anatomy homework help. Need a nurses opinion!

    Irish_Mist replied to ashleylea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have to agree with the general consensus about your professor being a lousy instructor. It is her job to teach you anatomy and physiology and to set you up for success. She seems to be doing...
