    The TEAS Science Section Is a Joke

    NurseGirl525 replied to simonedbv's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I thought the science was hard. It was my worst area. I scored a 78 which is good enough to get in but saying it's breeze, def. not. I thought the math was pretty easy and the english and reading...

    Can antidepressants keep you out of NS?

    NurseGirl525 replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, it won't keep you out of nursing school. They will tell you what they are screening for and they only test for those drugs. I don't think antidepressants are on their radar. They will test for...

    Part time

    NurseGirl525 replied to Room4me's topic in General Nursing

    I think you need to research this with the school you want to go to. My school has a dept to assist people with disabilities, but there is only so far that can go. Asking for part time clinical...

    Apply into the Nursing program or apply next year after completing pre reqs?

    NurseGirl525 replied to kmeowzer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a difference between a prereq and a coreq. A prereq has to be completed before entering the program. Thus the term pre requirement. A co requisite is a required course that just has to be...

    bachelor's in health science, then to nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to batterymanotk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look at what the requirements are for the ADN program. They can be just as competitive as a BSN program. Most generally go off a points system instead of looking at a cumulative GPA. Mine looks at...

    Sexism in nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to RNGuy12's topic in Men in Nursing

    Maybe they feel more comfortable because you are a guy to make suggestive remarks. I will say it is inappropriate but I always like being able to joke with guys because they are easier going about...

    Bad idea to quit?

    NurseGirl525 replied to emily12345's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I agree with the others, something has to go. If your school looks at a cumulative GPA, you should probably hope you get A's in all of these classes to have any chance of getting in. You will not...

    College Algebra

    NurseGirl525 replied to professionalgirl80's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking it this summer. I am in Algebra II right now and I think it is just an extension of that. We work with polynomials, story problems, factoring, and radicals. This class I was told really...

    Can you help me?

    NurseGirl525 replied to AshleyDeLaCruz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on your school. Are you going for a ADN or BSN? You will have to take prereqs. At my school no classes starting with NRSG can be taken unless you are in the program. My school does not...

    Medical terminology according to patients

    NurseGirl525 replied to nursefrances's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is funny because just today in my psych class there were some people doing presentations on chapters out of the book. They butchered all of the medical terms. Some that I thought were common...

    Pre Nursing Question

    NurseGirl525 replied to AshleyDeLaCruz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It doesn't matter how long, just have a good GPA to get in. I don't know about retaking classes because every school is different as to what they look

    Anatomy and Physiology 1 grade?

    NurseGirl525 replied to MykRTstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would ask. At my school A&P I and II are the most heavily weighted classes. You don't have to have A's in both but you shouldn't have lower than a B. Do you have a nursing advisor that would...

    Overtime dependent nurses

    NurseGirl525 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    My ex and I followed Dave Ramsey for years. I have no debt whatsoever. My home, car, and school are paid for. All of our hard work and frugality paid off years ago. Because of that, I don't have...

    teas prep help, Adkins Academy

    NurseGirl525 replied to ladybug707's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    No, I have never heard of a Teas prep course. The Teas is just testing your basic fundamental knowledge of stuff. Not a whole lot to study if you already don't know it. The ATI manual and McGraw...

    Steps to Nursing/Clinicals

    NurseGirl525 replied to Stephaniyah90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, every school is completely different on their admission process. Not every school even takes the same entry exam so you will really have to meet with an advisor at your school and find

    Nursing newbie with some questions!

    NurseGirl525 replied to Jkadkins's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here is my 2 cents, I would research you local job market and what they require and need. In my area we are understaffed in all hospitals. I live in a suburb outside of a major city. I don't think...

    Interview question

    NurseGirl525 replied to Dreaminofneedles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your outfit sounded fine, maybe I would put a blazer with it if you are looking to be a little more professional. I would ask some questions relating to the RN program, maybe about NCLEX pass rates,...

    Help!

    NurseGirl525 replied to EJhox8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is my understanding that to get into a MSN program you need to be a RN first. Whether it is an ADN or BSN you need to get that. And you will have to do clinicals which will require you to be away...

    What do I do?

    NurseGirl525 replied to eyrichj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your first couple of years in college will be prereqs. Once you get close to completing those you will apply to the nursing program which takes 2 years after that to complete. A word of advice, work...

    Advice RN vs LVN route

    NurseGirl525 replied to bluemondays88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A 3.8 GPA is pretty good. You have to get your associate's in CA for a CNA? Here it's like a 3 week class and doesn't really mean a whole lot. Schools here don't give you anything for getting your...

    Awkward and Shy Student Nurse

    NurseGirl525 replied to korsan's topic in General Students

    Honestly, I would not worry about making friends with these people. You are there for one thing to get your degree and become a nurse. I am an extremely extroverted person and yet I struggle with...
