I am SO glad I found this post. I am not sure if reading this gives me hope or not though. It seems a lot of nurses have foot issues. I am currently a stay at home mom and my feet hurt if I am on them for a few hours. I was really concerned that n...

I studied from this https://allnurses.com/teas-exam-help/how-i-passed-804222.html

8 or so a week. I am taking american lit and nutrition online, and A&P 2 as a hybrid. The hybrid is online lecture all tests and lab in class. Am lit and nutrition require a midterm and final on campus. I learn pretty quickly though. I studie...

I will be in the same boat. The month after I start nursing school my husband will deploy. I have 5 kids...YIKES! Is there another military wife that you can get help from? Military daycare providers have something called mildly ill care. You sh...

Mine was pretty much self taught. The teacher was in the room (or rather in her office next to the room) for questions but that is it. The lecture was pretty much self taught too. Not online.

Hubby and I both have refurbished MacBook Pro's. We always consult our computer friend when buying and he said if we can afford a MB Pro do it. We have had PC laptops and desktops and they lasted 2 or less years. When we moved we purchased an iMac...

Wiregrass Georgia Technical College - ADN program, it hasn't officially started yet (Jan 2014 start date). They will use GPA from 5 pre-req classes only and go by a point system.

Everyone at my school has told me the TEAS is harder and you need to study for both.

My current school only calculates grades based on the nursing prereqs, which is 5 classes. They do use all attempts except science courses older than 5 years. That is what helped me. I would just keep looking.

I am encouraged to see other people here with 4+ kids. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one.

I am 30 (31 this summer). I am married and have 5 kids. After summer I will have 1 class left to apply. I am taking 2 this summer, A&P 1 and a computer class that is required by the school for all programs. I am applying to the RN (associates) a...

I have a C in comp 1 (from 10 years ago) and my advisor said that if I re-take it I will loose more points than I will earn. They deduct points for retakes even if you passed the class the first time. I would check with the school first!

I keep seeing conflicting information. I know in my current state they are in need of nurses, but we will not be living here for more than a few more years. I want to be a nurse, but if I cannot find a job what is the point?! I really cannot think ...

We are in the South too. There are a lot of job opening even in our small town. But, we won't be staying here. I know jobs are hard to get right out of college period. I hope to get a part time job after my first semester of nursing school. I wou...

I just read this post https://allnurses.com/nursing-news/nursing-still-attractive-830753.html It doesn't make me feel better about it.

Change your major or transfer. You could also try putting in a transient request to a nearby school that will allow you to take some of the classes. The school I am currently attending requires general biology as a pre-req for A&P, so I am tran...

Is it possible for you to cross train into something medical?

Which ones are the GOOD ones? There are several on the market and I read the reviews, but they are pretty mixed. Do you think this is helpful? I can't spend a lot of time in the lab, so I thought this might be a good suppliment.

That is a good idea. I don't have a smart phone or anything, did you use a phone or take a digital camera? I have taken an A&P course before and didn't have too much of a problem, other than the fact that I never went to class.

Sorry I should have done a search before posting. I found these threads with helpful info. There are several of us taking A&P this summer though, so any other info might be helpful as well. https://allnurses.com/pre-nursing-student/anatomy-phys...

A&P II and diet and nutrition will be the last of my prereqs. (taking A&P I and a computer class this summer) I will probably take a literature course too though. If A&P I goes well I might even take Micro. I don't want to go crazy thoug...

I am taking A&P I this summer as well as a computer class.

Thanks.

Instead of creating another forum I am just going to ask mine here...I hope that is ok. My school goes by quarters. I am taking a required computer class with A&P 1 and micro and A&P 2 together the next quarter. Would it be better to take m...

I am very much so. I know that I will have to learn and deal with things that I do not agree with, but my perspective is that I know my family and I know what is best for us, so other people have to make that determination for themselves. I believe ...
