  1. How to stay positive about grades

    augurey replied to sabrina17's topic in General Students

    Let it go in one ear and out the other! Just keep up doing what you're doing. It's not going to do you any favors by getting discouraged by them. All you can do is look out for you. You don't have to...

  2. Esme Needs Your Prayers and Well Wishes

    augurey replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

  3. Grading scale

    augurey replied to maleRN2MSN's topic in General Students

    Once I pass the NCLEX, I plan on finding a job, getting my feet back on the ground (I quit my job to do this) and then go back to further my education within a couple of years. Since I'm still really...

  4. Older student/ New nursing student

    augurey replied to mihali05's topic in General Students

    I just started my ADN program and will be 30 in about a month. I had a lot of worries about being an older/non-traditional student. In my class, there are people of all ages. Young twenties and into...

  5. Grading scale

    augurey replied to maleRN2MSN's topic in General Students

    A: 93 - 100% B: 85 - 92% C: 80 - 84% **Anything below 80% is failing. They do round up (ie. If you get 92.7%, it will be rounded up to a 93% which is, therefore, an A instead of a B). 80% is...

  6. How Are You Easing Your First Day Jitters?

    augurey posted a topic in General Students

    A month ago, I wasn't nervous. I was pretty much just excited. The reality of nursing school didn't start to sink in until I had put in my notice at work, but still, my first day still felt so long...

  7. Scared to start nursing school

    augurey replied to dannygurl84's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't been in nursing school long. I'm only a couple weeks from completely the first half of my first semester. I let a lot of the stories on here scare me at first. I've personally found that my...

    Congrats!

  9. Tramadol Prescription & Nursing School Entrance Drug Testing

    augurey replied to ADNcandidate's topic in General Students

    I agree, as long as you have a valid prescription for those drugs, you'll be fine. As the others said, it should be through the drug testing company. We were asked if we were taking any medication...

  10. OMG, is it only the second day of nursing school????

    augurey replied to SeattleJess's topic in General Students

    I'm currently in the middle of my 4th week. The first week was the absolute worst. I sobbed like a 3 year old after my first night (the next day). The first week was very overwhelming as the workload...

  11. What is a "passing grade" for your nursing program?

    augurey replied to aspiringrn1987's topic in General Students

    We have to maintain a 2.5 GPA; however, their grading system is different than the usual (for me anyway) 70-79% C, 80-89% B, and 90-100% A. They go by: A: 93% - 100%...

  12. Teas V test

    augurey replied to k78frem's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I'm not sure if the OP(s) will respond because of the age of the post, but you will want to check with the school. From everything I've read, schools vary in what they allow. Some schools don't allow...

  13. First full week done!!!

    augurey replied to trancefamily's topic in General Students

    I just finished out my second week tonight. My first week was just awful. I let the first night overwhelm me, but knowing that my other classmates were feeling the same things was reassuring. It was...

  14. Already doubting myself

    augurey replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    My first day was Tuesday, and I let it overwhelm me. I felt like there was absolutely no way I would be able to get all of the assigned reading done (and be able to read ahead!). I was actually...

  15. TEAS V practice test vs real test

    augurey replied to ChelseyHudgins's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I've read many times where someone has said that the online test was more difficult than the actual test. Personally, I didn't feel that there was a difference in difficulty. So I think the difficulty...

  16. How Are You Easing Your First Day Jitters?

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    Sounds very similar to me, except I just have the 1 baby! (I carried the insurance, too) When do you start? I think quitting the job was the scariest part of it all. We could do financial projections...

  17. How Are You Easing Your First Day Jitters?

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    I actually went into my medical assisting class my junior and senior year of high school with the intent to go into nursing after graduating high school. The fear of making a mistake and costing...

  18. General workplace/personal life separation

    augurey replied to MassED's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I'm selective. It took me a long time to decide on who I could trust at work, and even then, I only became close with one person. With everyone else, I didn't offer information about my life. If they...

  19. How Are You Easing Your First Day Jitters?

    augurey replied to augurey's topic in General Students

    That's one of the things I've been thinking about a lot lately. I was in a Medical Assisting program during my last 2 years of high school. My grades were excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the...

  20. Does your school discourage working?

    augurey replied to remotefuse's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't say my school necessary discourages it, but I don't think they really encourage it either. I was talking to the director of nursing and she was explaining how clinicals will usually be on...

  21. Enter your TEAS V Scores here!!

    augurey replied to Future Nurse's Wife's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    We had this same issue, as well, in the reading section. It caused some chaos. The teacher had temporarily stepped out during this time. Someone ran and got someone. It was a relief that the time had...

    augurey replied to montegina10's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    First, relax and breathe! Second, is the 75% an over all score or you have to score a 75% in each section? What exactly are your problem areas? Are you scoring low in each section? Is it a certain...

  23. TEAS V Exam

    augurey replied to javachick78's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I thinking relaxing is key! Keeping calm and relaxed during your test will make a difference! During the times I was panicking during the test, my ability to think was nonexistent until I calmed down...

  24. TEAS V Exam

    augurey replied to javachick78's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The online practice tests are closer to the actual exam. Are you able to determine why you're scoring lower on the online test vs the study guide questions? It sounds like you know the material based...

  25. ATI online practice test TIMER - vs real test - format?

    augurey replied to mgrenwic's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I don't think you can flag on the real test. You can go back to any question, but you'll have to remember which question you wanted to go back to or write it down. We were given scrap paper before the...
