    goldenanchor replied to 2k15NurseExtern4u's topic in General Students

    Thanks for this - what a sweet message! I am a mom to one toddler, and man school is tough! It's hard finding the time for everything but it's SO worth it. There aren't that many other parents at my...

  3. Academic References

    goldenanchor posted a topic in General Students

    So I'm applying for a few scholarships and several of them require an academic reference. I have tons of professional references I could provide, but being that my college-career has been doing...

  7. Inver Hills 2014 Fall hopeful

    goldenanchor replied to Hopefulnurse30's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The reasoning for that is because they didn't accept any applications for the program for last semester. So they have applicants from last semester who were waiting for apply as well. In addition,...

    goldenanchor posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Just for fun - for all of us hopefuls :) Do you know specialty you want to work in? I'm undecided and open to what clicks with me - but I'm thinking maybe NICU, L&D or ER. How about

  9. Inver Hills 2014 Fall hopeful

    goldenanchor replied to Hopefulnurse30's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I applied for anoka Ramsey for fall. GPA in the four core classes of 3.75 and teas of 79.3. I'm doubtful considering our school accepts 80 and said they have about 1200 applicants. I know at anoka...

  10. What is your schedule?

    goldenanchor posted a topic in General Students

    Obviously every school/program and student is different. But I'm curious about those who work and go to nursing school, and those who are moms as well. It's not an easy task load to work out. At my...

  11. Few questions

    goldenanchor replied to Molly12's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Time was the hardest part for me. I had TONS of extra time during the practice tests, but ran out of time on reading and math in the real test. You can look back at questions in your current section,...

  12. HESI and TEAS Exam

    goldenanchor replied to pcp_9588's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took general biology prior to the test and that was a HUGE contributing factor to raising my science score (which is most important to my program). So that class was one semester long, and then I...

  13. What is your schedule?

    goldenanchor replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    Wow that is busy! Thankfully I don't have to work 50 hours a week. Like you though, I keep myself on a strict schedule to stay on track. I know exactly which hours are my designated study/homework...

  14. Best Books/Sources for learning about vaccinations?

    goldenanchor posted a topic in Disaster Preparation

    I am fascinated by them and if there were a degree in them, I would likely go for it. I think knowing both sides is not only interesting but would be helpful as a nurse. I've read pretty much...

  15. Growing Up Unvaccinated

    goldenanchor replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Do you have any advice for how to (calmly and kindly) speak with FAMILY who opposes those who DO vaccinate their children?? I have hidden it from everyone in my family that my child is vaxed. So far,...

  16. What is your schedule?

    goldenanchor replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

  17. What is your schedule?

    goldenanchor replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    haha! I sent many emails to advising and the nursing dept and no one will give me a straight forward answer. I guess I have to wait until March-April when fall registration

  18. Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

    goldenanchor replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Right - I know it's hard to get exactly what you what as a new grad. I know the hospital in my area requires you to apply to the new grad program unless you have a year of post-grad experience. I'm...

  19. Do you have a nursing specialty you know you want to pursue?

    goldenanchor replied to goldenanchor's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Excuse my naivety - I don't know as much about nursing as I would like - CRRN is critical care? I'm not

  20. What is your schedule?

    goldenanchor replied to goldenanchor's topic in General Students

    It's a BSN program, but also offers an ADN halfway through. It's a little different. The curriculum plan they gave me has a 9 credit Foundations of Nursing course (4 theory/2 lab/2 clinical), a 2...

  21. Why do some choose to pursue BSN over ASN first?

    goldenanchor replied to MedicalPartisan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school is unique in that it does the three semesters of nursing school and students are awarded the ADN, but then they continue on for three more semesters for get the BSN. Although some students...

  23. How's the Semester Going?

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

    Weather is cold here too - even as low as -20 plus -40 to -60 wind chills. It's nuts. Semester is good! Have my first A&P exam on Thursday. I'm taking Microbio this semester as well. Just took...

  25. Are you going to work while in nursing school?

    goldenanchor replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Like most of the previous posters, I don't have much of a choice. Even though my husband has a good job, it's not enough to support us AND pay for childcare that we would need if I'm in school. So my...
