  1. TEAS V Help?

    RunBabyRN replied to sixela21's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Yeah, it's not crazy hard. If you've taken your prereqs, all the better (there will be a few questions that weren't in the book, but if you've taken your sciences, you're good). I read through the...

  2. Please tell me I'm not alone

    RunBabyRN replied to MsPebbles's topic in General Students

    A LOT of nursing student feel this way. I have one classmate that admitted to me recently (as we are now in our final semester) that she would cry on her way to clinicals each time, because she was...

  3. Any moms or dads go to a nursing school out of town?

    RunBabyRN replied to mz23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A friend of mine in the program commutes an hour to get to school and clinicals. Her kids are older, but she can afford a nanny for them, and she's able to afford her bills (she planned ahead...

  4. TEAS V Help?

    RunBabyRN replied to sixela21's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Take a look in the TEAS forum. I studied only the ATI book, nothing else, and scored a 96%, so I really liked it. Money well spent. I found that the format was identical to the TEAS, since both are...

  5. Nursing College

    RunBabyRN replied to mimiayele3's topic in Virginia Nursing

    Few, if any, private universities will offer an ASN. Most will have BSN programs, and you'll need to research whether or not it's

  6. Need help with a nursing diagnosis!

    RunBabyRN replied to jberrn's topic in General Students

    We're not here to do your homework for you. You need to get a copy of the NANDA manual for these assignments. You'll use it a lot throughout your

  7. Heads up for taking NCLEX too fast!

    RunBabyRN replied to JMH.RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good to know! I tend to test fast, so this is helpful!

  8. NCLEX Kaplan Tips-My story

    RunBabyRN replied to payenglee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congratulations! Thanks for sharing your tips!

  9. Can I use my HESI Study Guide to Prepare for the TEAS?

    RunBabyRN replied to jennb156's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I suppose you could, but I couldn't attest to how much help it would be. I'm not familiar with Hesi. You would probably be better off to break down and purchase the ATI TEAS V book (I believe it's...

  10. Can I still apply with a very low GPA?

    RunBabyRN replied to kbL05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How long ago did you take A&P? Is there any chance of taking them again for grade improvements? Different schools have different policies on this, and same goes for nursing programs. I had...

  11. how do I get accepted???

    RunBabyRN replied to dmrd1985's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You may consider an ADN/ASN program. Many of them are based on lottery systems, where as long as you qualify, you'll be in the pool with everyone else that qualifies. If you apply to as many as...

  12. Struggling w/ work and classes

    RunBabyRN replied to lsboecken's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you plan to pursue nursing, your grades are absolutely VITAL. You NEED As. You'd be better off taking one or two classes instead of 5. You can build up from there as you find your balance, but I...

  13. Submission of Transcripts

    RunBabyRN replied to MJFC's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Double check with the schools, but I can't imagine you'd need those

  14. Non-Impacted Nursing Schools

    RunBabyRN replied to Ann Apple's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might consider applying to a lot of community college ADN programs in CA. While they're impacted, they generally accept students on a lottery system, meaning everyone who qualifies basically gets...

  15. Accident

    RunBabyRN replied to trillnurse7's topic in General Nursing

    I was nurse #2 (well, corpsman coming behind a nurse) in this scenario during my military time. Of course, it's always the patient that just got back from Africa and is presenting with a ton of...

  16. Clinical bad day?!?!

    RunBabyRN replied to bmt0630's topic in General Students

    Wow, sounds like a set up for failure! Even in my third semester of med/surg, we started with two, and were still paired up with an RN. I wasn't to 4 patients until I was ready (I pushed for it...

  17. Hospital staff/no weekends/holidays

    RunBabyRN replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    ROFL!!

  18. Can I teach?

    RunBabyRN replied to MsNivia's topic in Nursing Career

    I think for phleb, you have to be a CLS (clinical lab scientist), which is a totally different route in school than LPN/LVN, but that's just based on my own phleb education. Considering that nursing...

  19. What age did you complete your BSN or ASN?

    RunBabyRN replied to mee9mee9's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    BSN-

  20. Hospital staff/no weekends/holidays

    RunBabyRN replied to finallyRN7's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! That manager is setting her friend up to be eaten alive! Or lying to her... I'd be curious to hear how she's doing in a few

    Oooh!! Looks like a fantastic time suck awaits! LOL *diving

  23. Precepting Questions

    RunBabyRN replied to JLA's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you know that's the area you want to be in once you're a nurse, I see no problem precepting there! I'm precepting in mother/baby, as I plan to work there when I graduate (studying to be a midwife,...

  24. low gpa

    RunBabyRN replied to lowgpa's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DEMSN programs are pretty competitive. It's honestly not very likely that you'll be accepted into one with that GPA. There may be a money-grubbing for-profit university that would be willing to help...

  25. Student Nurse "Help me!" Threads

    RunBabyRN replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    If you'd been off orientation less than a week, and you'd been told to "buck up so, so many times," again, I repeat, you might need to look inward. Something tells me there's more to your story than...
