  1. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    Does anyone know if we have to submit proof of vaccines when we apply? It's mentioned briefly in the nursing info packet but there are no details. If we need them, I'm going to have to start...

  2. Retake Pre-Req's- waste of money?

    MissCris replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, I didn't bother reading page 2 of the comments before I replied to you haha. I think I might write the advisor again just to clarify. I can never find this GPA calculator everyone talks about...

  3. Retake Pre-Req's- waste of money?

    MissCris replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's interesting...when I spoke to the nursing advisor a few months ago she said they were counted. It also says in the nursing info packet "The Nursing GPA is calculated by the Admissions Office...

  4. Retake Pre-Req's- waste of money?

    MissCris replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, have you taken Sociology, Lifespan, Psych, or your Humanities class yet? Those also count in your nursing GPA since they're part of the program (even though they're not pre reqs) That could be...

  5. Retake Pre-Req's- waste of money?

    MissCris replied to RInursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you, I would definitely retake A&P and the TEAS. I'm applying at NCC this year. A girl in my class is retaking A&P right now, she applied last year with a 3.5 GPA, B in A&P and...

  6. Chemistry has been my hardest prereq!

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

    A&P I has been more difficult for me than chemistry was, and I took chem in a summer course. I think the professor makes a HUGE difference in the science classes. My chemistry professor was very...

  7. Paying for Winter Session! How did you?

    MissCris replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My community college doesn't cover winter classes with financial aid either. I bounced back and forth between the business office and the financial aid office trying to make some magic happen but...

  8. Frustrated with my A&P Professor

    MissCris posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Fair warning, this is a rant more than anything else. I'm taking A&P I right now with 3 weeks left in the semester. I started off strong but my grade is on the decline. I work hard and study...

  9. Frustrated with my A&P Professor

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

    Just wanted to give a quick update. I got a 95 on my last exam!! The links in this thread helped TREMENDOUSLY and I'm going to continue to use them for the muscle system. Thanks for the help

  10. Enter your TEAS V Scores here!!

    MissCris replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Program Type: ADN Adjusted Individual Total Score: 85.3% ATI Academic Preparedness Level: Advanced Mean - National: 64.3% Mean - Program: 64.9% Percentile Rank - National - 95 Percentile Rank -...

  11. Do you ever get so overwhelmed?

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

    I totally understand how you feel, I have a 3 year old daughter and I feel like I never see her! I'm home with her in the mornings but for most of that time I'm trying to read or study in between...

  12. Frustrated with my A&P Professor

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

    Thanks for the links and advice! A lot of people in my class are taking this course for a second time, so while some are definitely as frustrated as I am, I can't say everyone is having the same...

  13. Is a 'B' in A&P a deal breaker

    MissCris replied to dt70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That depends on which program you're applying for. At my school, your A&P grade accounts for 25% of your ranking score, so it's kind of a big deal. I don't know how common that is though, and you...

  14. TEAS test in 2 1/2 weeks. Haven't been in school for 20 years.

    MissCris replied to Shelexis's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Definitely get the ATI book and study primarily from that, and then supplement from there. I also had heavy chemistry on my TEAS, but everything on that test was in the ATI book in some way, shape or...

  15. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I did the SAME thing, so don't feel too bad haha. If you can get that TEAS grade up I think you'll be in really good shape for this

  16. Taking the TEAS today! Practice vs. Real Test?

    MissCris posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm taking my TEAS at 4:00 this afternoon. I'm so nervous! I didn't buy the practice tests from ATI, but I did use the book and the McGraw practice tests. I've been scoring pretty consistently in...

  17. Taking the TEAS today! Practice vs. Real Test?

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Thank you! My classmates think I'm crazy for wanting to retake, but I want to be as competitive as possible. I felt great during the reading portion, after the math I felt totally deflated and...

  18. Taking the TEAS today! Practice vs. Real Test?

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I thought the science was the most difficult part because there are so many different topics covered. I skipped over a lot of the chemistry in the study guide because I just took it over the summer,...

  19. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I scored an 85.3 on my TEAS exam today. I'm fairly happy, but I think I might want to retake it. My A&P grade is an A- right now with two tests and a final exam to go. I'm not so sure I can get...

  20. Taking the TEAS today! Practice vs. Real Test?

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I scored an 85.3! I'm pretty happy, but I might retake it one more time to see if I can bump it up a bit. I got a 90% on the math section. Most of the questions were percentages, fractions and...

  21. A&P 1 Fall 2013

    MissCris replied to sno87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm totally with you! My friends have probably forgotten what my face looks like because I don't have time to have a life outside of my daughter, my husband, my job, and my studying. The thought...

  22. A&P 1 Fall 2013

    MissCris replied to sno87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How's everyone holding up? I have an A- right now. Quiz grades: 100, 95, 86; Lecture test: 90 (we took another one yesterday on the nervous system. Not sure how I did and I probably won't get it...

  23. Connecticut Community Colleges - Applying for 2014

    MissCris replied to MissCris's topic in Connecticut Nursing

    I wrote to one of the nursing advisors about average TEAS/A&P/GPA's/number of seats and this is what she said: "Yes the program is very competitive. Typically we receive a few hundred...

  24. Feeling like I'm in a rut with school and I really need some advice...

    MissCris replied to JBrown8592's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was a lot like you when I was undecided in my career path. I never put much emphasis on the grades I got, and I certainly never studied. I was happy just to pass. Now that I know I want to be a...

  25. If you have kids, when do you study?

    MissCris replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Mom to a 3 year old here. I work 25 hours a week and I'm taking A&P on campus and a lit course online this semester. My daughter is a total night owl and rarely goes to bed before 9:30 every...
