  1. Health Insurance for nursing school?

    PhillippaX50 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi Everyone, I haven't been accepted into a program yet (just did all my applications), but I thought that this forum would be the best place to ask, since you're all in nursing school already. My...

  2. Bodies, The Exhibit

    PhillippaX50 replied to DadStudentPerhaps's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I saw the Bodies exhibit many years ago in Las Vegas - when it first came out. I wasn't into nursing at that time, but I found it fascinating. I noticed at the time that a lot of the bodies looked...

  3. Few questions

    PhillippaX50 replied to Molly12's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I was able to go back when I took the test. For each section (e.g., math, science), you'll have a few "pages" of questions - however, if you submit the last page then you can't go back. Keep in mind...

  4. So Cal Community Colleges

    PhillippaX50 replied to blu_02's topic in California Nursing

    Can you retake any of your other pre-req's at a different school? Some schools allow you to retake more than 1 class and will just deduct a few points for attempts (if they use a point system). You...

  5. Advice on selling books online

    PhillippaX50 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can trade in your books, but you'll probably get more money if you sell them. I have some of my books up for sale on Amazon; however, I will NEVER buy from a "student" seller on Amazon (like...

  6. Does National Accredited and Regionally Accredited really matter?

    PhillippaX50 replied to Ariel09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think that most people, including myself, would agree that non-accredited schools are a complete waste of time and money. If I were you I'd just finish the pre-req's and start applying to BSN...

  7. Post your Fall 2013 grades!

    PhillippaX50 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for the reply...I had a pretty good feeling that a lot of the people with perfect A's were not getting 96 or 97 and above. At my school, it is generally 95-96 for the A and it depends on...

  8. Post your Fall 2013 grades!

    PhillippaX50 replied to __patiently_waiting's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am curious...what is an A at the school you go to? Most of my classes require a 97/100 to get an A (it used to be 96 and even that was rough). I have mostly A's, some A-'s, and a couple B+'s. For...

  9. Student Loan help!!!

    PhillippaX50 replied to misssarab.5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's awesome! I hope you'll be able to figure something out. If I find anything, I'll let you

  10. Student Loan help!!!

    PhillippaX50 replied to misssarab.5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Forgive my ignorance...but isn't Sallie Mae a private loan? I was under the impression that I couldn't go through them because of my credit not being so

  11. Student Loan help!!!

    PhillippaX50 replied to misssarab.5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is that your tuition? Wow, you're lucky. My program is around $25-30k at a private 4-year. At least you won't be in debt for the rest of your life, lol! There's some good news in all of this after...

  12. Student Loan help!!!

    PhillippaX50 replied to misssarab.5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think she was referring to all of the fees that go along with orientation. Tuition might go up, but that is usually covered by loans. For example, the cpr class, background checks, shots/titers,...

  13. Student Loan help!!!

    PhillippaX50 replied to misssarab.5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is so depressing! We work so hard, and then stupid stuff like this gets in the way. I'm not giving up - there's got to be way. I'm still waiting for my acceptance/denial letter for Spring and...

  14. Student Loan help!!!

    PhillippaX50 replied to misssarab.5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you for asking this question. I am in almost the exact same situation as you, except my start up fees will be over 3000 plus the health insurance. I have no idea what I'm going to do, and I...

  15. Can one skip lower Bio and successfully take Bio 201 (A/P)

    PhillippaX50 replied to Starreacher26's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a general biology before A&P, but a lot of my classmates didn't. I think it helped me a little because a lot of stuff was repeated in A&P (cell structure & function, DNA,...

  16. A&P textbook in hardcover or loose leaf?

    PhillippaX50 replied to LadyLamp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had the loose leaf for A&P and I would definitely do it again. The quality of my pages was the same as the bound text. A few pages got tears in the holes, but they are easy to fix with tape...

  17. TEAS V hard?

    PhillippaX50 replied to lauraline's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Some posters have said that the scores you get on practice tests are predictors of your actual test score. I disagree. I scored very high on my practice tests, but only 70% on the actual exam. I...

  18. Oh NO! Just got the SCOOP on my Chemistry Professor!

    PhillippaX50 replied to Ariana214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I post on Rate my Professor when I have strong feelings about a particular professor....good OR bad. I only post when I really love a teacher or when a teacher really sucked. I do not think that...

  19. Taking the TEAS V test...again

    PhillippaX50 replied to Javier-Antonyo's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Yes. Go to "How I studied/passed the TEAS" on this message board - the topics are at the bottom of this section and are highlighted in green. The posters give a pretty accurate description of what...

  20. No Wait List Nursing Programs....HELP

    PhillippaX50 replied to marysmom1216's topic in School, College Programs

    Try National University in California - i think there is one in Fresno. It's fully accredited (wasc) and no wait

  21. Stuck..AP Related

    PhillippaX50 replied to Idiosyncratic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, I know you mentioned that you're tired of making flashcards, but that is how I learned my cat - and I got A's on my practicals. Our teacher gave us color photos of a dissected cat (15+...

  22. What's the best math to take to refresh for math in TEAS?

    PhillippaX50 replied to hope_is_w_feathers's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have been using the ATI manual and Mcgraw Hill - from what I can see, the most difficult math is just very basic algebra. Know the FOIL method and order of operations (remember PEDMAS: Parentheses,...

  23. failed teas with a 57% retook it and got 80%

    PhillippaX50 replied to rachelmacy's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Not all schools take your first score - mine takes your best. You should find out what the other three schools look for. Since you've already applied, you could try looking through your...

  24. Ridiculous quote about nurses featured in a sociology book..

    PhillippaX50 replied to MichelinaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, now this bothers me a lot more! If I had the book in front of me right now, I'd probably write a letter to the publisher. I'm not saying it needs to be blown out of proportion, but it is a...

  25. Ridiculous quote about nurses featured in a sociology book..

    PhillippaX50 replied to MichelinaRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's funny you mentioned this because my sociology book had something similar - but more along the lines of "nursing is predominantly female and females earn less than their male counterparts' - which...
