    pre nursing student

    That's an extremely low score. The nursing programs that I know of require at least a 65% on the TEAS to even be
  2. Interesting. Well, good luck! I know the wait is always
  3. Who's Ron Swanson? This is how I look IRL. That's unique. I've never heard of a program that does that. Is it a BSN or ADN

    On Being Blunt....or Nice....

    I agree with PP. I'm very non-confrontational as well. I like to say, "I need to finish my work, but I'm sure the instructor could answer your questions." Very neutral
  5. Some people don't know how to feel excitement for others' achievements when they compare their grades. I like to keep my score to myself. I'll just indicate that I passed the exam, and that's it. And...

    GA Teen Contracted HIV from a hair weave? Really?!?!

    I feel like 2nd base means something completely different these
  7. Are you in the nursing program? I'm wondering why you're unsure of starting clinicals specifically in Spring. Usually people post about not getting into the nursing program, not

    what school to go?

    I don't know the specific schools. But I would certainly consider the NCLEX pass rates, if you haven't looked at those

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Okay, sorry for the derailment. Nope, no one should be calling themselves nurses if they're not licensed as nurses. And wolf spiders are the worst. If I have nightmares, I'm blaming

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Nope. If I see a spider, be prepared to see me run faster than an Olympic champ. I don't go near anything with more than 6 legs. And I Googled platypus. I never knew it was carnivorous. How 'bout...

    TEAS test study book

    I found several sites that offered TEAS sample questions. I just Googled "TEAS practice questions", and

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    Does that really work? I'll spray my bed while I'm at it. I'm positive that there's a spider lurking somewhere. I woke up with a bite on my forehead. What does being vegan have to do with spiders?...

    what school to go?

    Um... What? I'm sorry, but I have no idea what the question was. Could you rephrase it? The last part of your post is a tad

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    If I could carry a blowtorch around with me to use on those suckers, I wouldn't

    How do you feel about care plans?

    Well, when you fill up a huge part of the forum with 10+ threads in 10 minutes, it is bound to draw some questions. And I'm free to respond to whichever threads I'd like. There's a search bar that can...

    What do you consider to be your worst semester?

    Got it. Makes more

    What do you consider to be your worst semester?

    Your threads are contradicting each other... Unless I'm misunderstanding them. Your later thread says that you're a 4th semester student? But this one says you're a 2nd semester

    Dear, goodness. Why are you making so many threads in such a short amount of

    How do you feel about ATI?

    They are very nitpicky with some of their questions (which can contradict some of the current texts once in a blue moon) but they have been useful for my courses. Of course, our school also requires...

    Books to read before starting nursing school

    There's the A&P coloring books on Amazon, which are awesome. KhanAcademy on YouTube is also very

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    *shudders* There was a huge one in my sink one morning. I just about cried. I could barely reach over to the faucet to drown it. I'm still waiting for it to crawl back up the

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    I wouldn't say I have a phobia of clowns. I certainly hate them and think that they are the creepiest things ever, but not to the extent of a phobia. I HATE spiders though. If one was on my windshield...

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    I never knew midget phobia was a real thing but there's a girl who has it in our program. It's the most unusual thing. People have phobias about literally

    Very, Very Bad Week

    I'm so sorry for your loss, Heather. Words cannot express the sorrow and heartache, but if you ever need encouragement or a listening ear, I would be glad to give that to
