  1. Please help, need to prepare for TEAS

    augurey replied to ilikecorgis's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    You may want to check out the TEAS section of this website. There's TONS of helpful information as well as people going though it (for moral support). I highly recommend you review this post:...

  2. ATI Schools

    augurey replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I'm really glad to see other responses here! I've been curious how other school handle ATI, so I think it's really helpful to know how it works with other schools. My line of thinking is that the...

  3. ATI Schools

    augurey replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    I only recognize you because of the state you live and your avatar lol but as I was reading this I kept telling myself that this sounds awfully like the school I recently withdrew from... Guess it is!...

  4. Being a mom?

    augurey replied to Canadianmummy's topic in General Students

    It's possible. It's hard, but possible. It's all about time management. When I started school in the fall, my daughter just turned 1. My classes were at night, but I had her in daycare or at my mother...

  5. Pregnancy in nursing school

    augurey replied to TooManyCats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think in that situation (re: stories about women who have babies and never go back) is such and individual and personal thing. Only you have that within your power to know whether or not you'll go...

  6. Pregnancy in nursing school

    augurey replied to TooManyCats's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Some people can do it, some can't. Pregnancy is unpredictable. Even if you've been pregnant before and it went smooth, it doesn't mean this one will be. If you're planning, it'd be best to plan at a...

  7. Was my professor out of line?

    augurey replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    Oh, and I just want to mention that I found myself switching gears a lot. There were times where I could spend less time on school and spend more time with my family. During those times, I definitely...

  8. Was my professor out of line?

    augurey replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    I think the religion comment was inappropriate. I just don't see what religion has to do with it. As far as the priorities... school has to be a high priority. In order to succeed, it has to be....

  9. Atlanta Technical College ASN Fall 2015

    augurey replied to sana.chunara's topic in General Students

    I think if you've heard bad things about it, it's a red flag. However, I would verify their accreditation, graduation and NCLEX pass rates before deciding (though if I heard a lot of bad things, that...

  10. Accreditation - Chamberlain College of Nursing

    augurey replied to TRenee93's topic in General Students

    I'm not really sure about the HLC accreditation. I tried looking it up, and from what I'm understanding, the HLC aids in the accreditation process (I think? I just looked at it briefly). I looked on...

  11. Writing an admissions letter - Input?

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    So I withdrew from my nursing program because of accreditation and some red flags that popped up starting second semester. I'm applying to a school that I had my heart set on a year ago (never...

  12. TEAS TEST HELP!

    augurey replied to hcurry9's topic in General Students

    If you check out the TEAS section in the Nursing Student section, you'll find a lot of good information. I highly recommend you read this thread:...

  13. Ethics

    augurey replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Hi old friend I think GrnTea is right on this. I remember telling you in the beginning that there are going to be a lot of things that we don't agree with, but sometimes we just have to push forward...

  14. The Reasoning Behind Nursing Schools' Grading Scales

    augurey replied to WookieeRN's topic in General Students

    I think HouTx has a very good point with that. It made me think back to my former school's admission requirements. They informed me that this year's class (those starting Sept 2014) were given higher...

  15. The Reasoning Behind Nursing Schools' Grading Scales

    augurey replied to WookieeRN's topic in General Students

    The program I just withdrew from had a grading scale of 80-84.5% - C, 84.6 - 92.5% - B, and 92.6+ - A. Anything below an 80% is failing. We had to maintain a GPA of 2.5+, so at minimum a mixture of Cs...

  16. Tonight is my last night!

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    When I first started, I didn't understand the different accreditations at all. Last September I started an ACICS accredited school. From my understanding, it was fine since I could take the NCLEX. The...

  17. Tonight is my last night!

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Thanks everyone :) It was a very scary decision, but I feel like I'll be glad that I made it, provided I get accepted into this new school. There have been only a few times where I've had to make...

  18. A&P II Lab Practical

    augurey replied to Mygenericusername's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure if all instructors allow it, but we were allowed to take pictures of all labs. I'd take the pictures and put them on my computer. I'd draw lines to each part/area, left it blank, saved...

  19. ATI material versus class material

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    I'm currently taking my first class that requires an ATI proctored exam. I'm just wondering if ATI material is mostly covered in class with additional reading on your own, or has the majority of...

  20. ATI material versus class material

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Oh we haven't even gotten to ABCs yet lol I will say that I know I didn't pass just based on guessing. I'm sure I would have failed if I just literally guessed. It felt like all I did was guess, but I...

  21. Preserving your marriage while being a good student?

    augurey replied to blaundee's topic in General Students

    Communication! I always try to make sure I talk to him at some point each day. Sometimes it's a few minutes in the morning, on the phone while I'm on my way to class. Other times I text him on my...

  22. ATI material versus class material

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    I would say that maybe 1/4 or maybe 1/3 of the class material was on the ATI. There weren't really notes as much as there was just reading through the chapters (which we'd already done). I do record...

  23. ATI material versus class material

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your response! It was very helpful! We just took our first ATI. We found a lot of discrepancies in our actual lecture book and our ATI book. We found out a week before the test that there...

  24. Balancing school, family/life

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    I'm almost halfway through my second semester. It's definitely become more difficult and know that with the start of my next two classes in March will be even more difficult. It's not the difficulty...

  25. Need some help on a nursing dx

    augurey posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This is my first time working with a nursing diagnosis. We're working on a hypothetical case study for our nutrition class and have to come up with 3 nursing diagnoses. General info: Pt is 55 year old...
