    post your fall class schedule

    ShelbyaStar replied to reka2014's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was accepted into NS in the spring contingent on me finishing prereqs in the fall, but it's still a little unclear what exactly I will have to take because some classes aren't transferring well. I...

    Yay I got into Nursing School. Now what?

    ShelbyaStar replied to virgo7598's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What kind of work do you do? I will be working full time in the fall if at all possible but when NS starts up in the spring I plan to drop to fill-in so that I don't have to commit to any particular...

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    I meant to apply to IHCC as well, but I figured my chances of getting into Century was just as good and Century is only 5 miles from where I live. So even if I had gotten around to applying, I would...

    Career Change?

    ShelbyaStar replied to seattlemonkey's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I'm no expert in any of these fields, but a degree in nursing sounds unnecessary. Maybe try to find people that do similar work and figure out what their...

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    I got an email: "Selection results letters for the Spring 2015 Century College MANE Nursing program were mailed on July 15, 2014. Unfortunately, we have just discovered you were sent an older...

    Mane with MetroState

    ShelbyaStar replied to PTKChic's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak about Metro State in particular, but having gone to other schools, I'm pretty sure that pretty much all schools create similar frustrations with all students. I'm not sure if I'll...

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    So I got my acceptance letter from Century! Only thing is, it says fall 2014 lol. Anyone else get the same thing? They must've reused the same acceptance letters from the last cycle. Mine is also...

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    Well today's the day! I'm a little worried they may have my previous address. I changed it on MNSCU but I'm not sure if it went through to Century, and the mail forwarding has been spotty at best. If...

    And now we wait. I hope I submitted all my materials correctly. Being a transfer is

    CNA vs. Hospice Volunteer?

    ShelbyaStar replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    From what I understand and have experienced, at least from volunteering at a hospital, is that there isn't a whole lot a volunteer can legally do. When I volunteered, I fetched water for pts in...

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    I sent off my app today. Still pretty confused over some transfer stuff so I hope it will work out. I am looking at ATI's site and not seeing how to make my score available. Since I took the test at...

    What inspired you to be a nurse?

    ShelbyaStar replied to dc1994's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never wanted to be one when I was younger. My mom was one and told me all about how great it was, so naturally I wanted nothing to do with it. I couldn't find a job in the field I did choose, so I...

    Just received my TEAS books and..

    ShelbyaStar replied to chernandez3841's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I didn't really use the book that heavily. I took a practice test a week beforehand and then focused my studying on the things I did the worst on. For me that was life and physical science and...

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    You're right! I got about a 70 on the 1st practice test, a 65 on the 2nd, but an 84 on the real one! So relieved. The science in particular was much easier I

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    I talked to an adviser last time around and was told the lowest was an 11.33 I think. No guarantee it's like that this semester- I would kind of think fall would have more applicants, but do apply to...

    Minnesota nurses: is your facility hiring?

    ShelbyaStar replied to firefly101's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. lol. Glad to be moving away in less than a month but a lot of people get their start up here. I have no idea what places like Brainerd are like, but maybe places like that will similarly be...

    Where is the Passion?

    ShelbyaStar replied to ladyk84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think it's necessarily job hating, but life hating. Negative people find things to be negative about and jobs are a pretty convenient scapegoat, no matter what that job may be. That said,...

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    Woo! Just got my grades back and I squeaked by with a B in A&P. That doesn't sound great but the class at my school is extremely difficult and I was terrified I'd get a C. Phew. So my current...

    What to do pre-pre-Nursing School?

    ShelbyaStar replied to hmowry's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look into what factors the school take into consideration for nursing school. Some simply add up a score of your GPA and test scores and nothing else matters. Others take volunteer and work experience...

    How many times can you take the TEAS V at Inverhills

    ShelbyaStar replied to Hopefulnurse30's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    That's what I was told too, twice per cycle and the tests have to be a month apart (or maybe it was 2 weeks but I'm 99% sure it was a month). So if you don't get in this cycle you have a couple more...

    Spring 2015 MANE programs

    ShelbyaStar replied to Key Lime Pie's topic in General Nursing

    I am also applying to Century and Inver Hills, and also prefer Century since I will be living very close to there. I am nervous that something will get screwy because I am a transfer student so I'm...

    Is your spouse supportive of your nursing career?

    ShelbyaStar replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a student at this point but my fiancee is very supportive. He can't wait til I'm making more money than him LOL. He is great with my rants about school or my healthcare related job. He is...

    Minnesota nurses: is your facility hiring?

    ShelbyaStar replied to firefly101's topic in General Nursing

    The hospital in my town hires new grads all the time, both AD and BSN. I am in Bemidji though, much less competitive for both schools and jobs than around the

    Chances of acceptance

    ShelbyaStar replied to polarizing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Doing things like volunteering may or may not help you, doing well on the TEAS may or may not help you, etc. It depends on the school. Some look at a lot of factors including letters of...

    Which specialty would you like to end up in?

    ShelbyaStar replied to baseball mom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    While I'd be happy to be any kind of nurse, I'm pretty sure that L&D or NICU would be the only thing that I'd be excited to go into work for. You never know
