Wow!! Sounds like you rocked it. Do you feel ten weeks was enough of a preceptorship for you? I just graduated and will be starting in a busy ER with my preceptorship lasting 4-6 months, and I have had two non-nursing positions in an ER for the last 1.5 years. I can't imagine only getting a few weeks like the newer new grads are getting where you are!!

When I say two professors that taught there, I mean they were primarily hampton campus teachers, but taught at our campus for a class or two.

I can't say for sure how the Hampton courses are since I go to the Williamsburg campus but I had two professors that taught there for lab and drug dosage and I loved them both! The material was challenging at times but definitely not impossible to understand. I studied often but not for hours at a time...usually an hour here and there and took notes with me if I was riding in a car for a length of time, or sitting in doctors offices. I reviewed notes daily and I'd explain difficult concepts to my boyfriend to help ME understand and remember better...that helped a lot for me. I'm sure the 2nd semester will be much more difficult since the classes are only 5 weeks but I'll have to learn better time management...didn't have too big of an issue with that this semester LOL.

Hello! Tiffany, I just finished my first semester and our schedule was: NUR 104 (16 weeks) Mon/Wed 9-11:50am First 8 weeks NUR 100 Monday 1-2:50pm Second 8 weeks NUR 117 Monday 1-2:50pm NUR 135 (16 weeks) Wednesday 1-2:50pm NUR 105 (lab/clinical) was split into two groups, Tuesday 8am-2pm and Thursday 8am-2pm We only had three clinical days, the rest was spent in the lab. I'd love to answer any other questions! I really enjoyed myself this semester and all of my professors were amazing. The first semester definitely wasn't as bad as I expected it to be! People sort of built it up to be more difficult than it actually was...in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, it had challenging moments - but I was still able to squeeze in visits to family in northern virginia, a surgery, and plenty of quality time with friends and family and pass with four A's and a B!

Hi, when y'all say you have to score in the 45% percentile, do you mean in each category or overall for the entire test? I hate the TEAS test...but if they go by percentile I think I'll be OK. Thanks!
