  1. COVID-19 Testing

    Trust in Jesus replied to DesertRosee's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Even though the CDC claims that facemasks are acceptable alternatives in this shortage, they also say that for specimen collections you have to use something at least as protective as an N95...

  2. COVID-19 "Tylenol Test" T /F?

    Trust in Jesus replied to T-Wave's topic in Disaster Preparation

    This is so ridiculous. I hope the public doesn't get confused and think that this is accurate (there was that crazy email that claimed to be from Stanford a few weeks ago). Tylenol will reduce one's...

  3. Kicked out before even starting

    Trust in Jesus replied to Confused_nurse2b's topic in General Students

    The OP's username used to be Confused Nurse. The OP has changed it to be within the terms and conditions of this

  4. Kicked out before even starting

    Trust in Jesus replied to Confused_nurse2b's topic in General Students

    Yes, this is true. All the paperwork for hospitals must be turned in on time. For most schools (maybe all of them), if any of your requirements expire during the semester, you can't go to clinical and...

  5. Watches for Nursing Students

    Trust in Jesus replied to Monica.Aguilar12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with the above poster, get a cheap watch. If it times out after 10 sec. you're going to have to tap it a lot and what if you're wearing gloves or your hands are dirty? It could be an...

  6. ABSN vs ADN

    Trust in Jesus replied to psychheel19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's actually an interesting thread that was just started about the nursing shortage. Everyone has a different take on it. OP, you might enjoy reading it....

  7. How long does it take to get ADN including prerequisites, on average?

    Trust in Jesus replied to r r r's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There's typically a lot of pre-reqs (biology, anatomy, physiology, microbiology, english, math, etc.) and depending on how high of a GPA you need to be competitive for your school it can take a year...

  8. ABSN vs ADN

    Trust in Jesus replied to psychheel19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At $40,000 for an ABSN program, I'm thinking doing the ADN plus Bachelor's will be way cheaper. You can do the bachelor's once your working - assuming that you can get a job in your area. Are you open...

  9. ABSN vs ADN

    Trust in Jesus replied to psychheel19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have your pre-reqs finished yet? An ADN degree is a good option because you can start working and then go on to get a bachelor's. However, some hospitals are really wanting BSN prepared nurses....

  10. Less competitive schools in CA?

    Trust in Jesus replied to kpeacht's topic in General Students

    Study hard and do your best on the TEAS. Do more volunteering so that you can qualify for extra points. Then, apply to every school that you're eligible for and see if you get in. Additionally,...

  11. How to become a RN in California

    Trust in Jesus replied to rachellmz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Research the nursing school requirements for all the schools you are interested in. Some of the 4 year schools are no longer allowing transfer students and you have to start as a freshman at their...

  12. Are there "easy" nursing schools to get into in California?

    Trust in Jesus replied to WillSu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's a fairly good science GPA. I think you have a good chance of being accepted, but it all depends on the other applicants' scores. You can also apply to community colleges if you want to. Just...

  13. TEAS vs NCLEX easiness

    Trust in Jesus replied to IreneLeong's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't taken the NCLEX yet, but the TEAS is definitely easier! I think most of the TEAS exam is at a 7th or 8th grade level (like in English and Math). The NCLEX is pass/fail (except you do know...

  14. Tips for working student?

    Trust in Jesus replied to galpalval's topic in General Students

    Typically, nursing school doesn't require as much memorization as the pre-reqs like anatomy, physiology, and microbiology. However, for the things you do need to memorize I recommend using Quizlet....

  15. Will getting my A.A. degree benefit me

    Trust in Jesus replied to chinny4213's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd get the AA for just 3 more classes. You can add it to your resume and, also, some nursing programs award extra points for having a degree (it sounds like you are already accepted, but just in...

  16. 90 on the TEAS without studying... should I retake it?

    Trust in Jesus replied to halfcourt95k's topic in General Students

    I think the best option is to retake the TEAS. It wouldn't be too hard, and with a little studying you can definitely improve your score enough to reach one of the four higher point tiers. Do it over...

  17. 90 on the TEAS without studying... should I retake it?

    Trust in Jesus replied to halfcourt95k's topic in General Students

    Great job on the TEAS! Even though you got a B, I'm sure you learned a ton from that class. I don't think you need to retake the TEAS, especially since you would need a 99 to bring up your points. A...

  18. Pregnant and in nursing school

    Trust in Jesus replied to Jen51685's topic in General Students

    As Horseshoe said above, there are lots of women that have been pregnant and still finished nursing school. I've seen nurses working on the floor when pregnant. It's not easy, but, of course, it can...

  19. Anatomy Tips? Histology?

    Trust in Jesus replied to HaloNursing's topic in General Nursing

    Can you take pictures of the histology slides? I put the camera lens up to the microscope (with very careful positioning) and took pictures and then made flashcards on

  20. How do you memorize / visualize for tests?

    Trust in Jesus replied to bitter_betsy's topic in General Students

    Continue writing the words you are trying to memorize. I'm not sure what class you are in, but when I took anatomy I would write the term over and over on a piece of paper. This should help to build...

  21. Nursing Student Photo - WIN $250! Nurses Week Contest 2018

    Trust in Jesus replied to Brian S.'s topic in General Students

    Thoughts on the first day of clinical: Student 1: I hope we measured this medication correctly. Student 2: If we look confident maybe she won't ask us a bunch of questions. Professor: They both look...

  22. What do you eat for breakfast?

    Trust in Jesus replied to Ioreth's topic in General Students

    Here are some ideas: Oatmeal (add nuts for some protein) Fried egg with a bagel/toast and cream cheese Avocado toast Yoghurt/Cottage cheese with fruit and granola Hard boiled eggs with a muffin...

  23. How much "faking" should a nursing student do?

    Trust in Jesus replied to babychickens's topic in General Students

    Instructors want their students to be confident, especially in front of patients. However, if you are unsure of a med you're giving or a skill you're doing always clarify with your instructor or nurse...

  24. Advice before starting 1st semester

    Trust in Jesus replied to Jeage's topic in General Students

    You can try to prepare yourself for nursing school, but it's probably not going to make a big difference (assuming you still remember the basics of your pre-reqs). It's not really the content in...

  25. Which TEAS score should I submit?

    Trust in Jesus replied to mariavicuna's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the reading section will be fairly important to your school because it shows how well you will be able to do in nursing school. Yes, a science background is important. However, the reading...
