    LoyalWeim replied to Joe V's topic in News, Announcements

    Mom: "Our 'lil' girl'! She is so excited about her first nursing job!" Dad: Amused...thinking to himself, "Rrrright. I think she is excited to finally move

  2. Rant:How NOT to be a nurse

    LoyalWeim replied to crnahole's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That is exactly what it was like. There were about 4 nurses huddled around the O2 machine trying to figure out what it was saying. My trust is not lost on the nurses because as I said I have a...

  3. I passed!

    LoyalWeim replied to augurey's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    That is a very good point... reading is the first test section at a time when anxiety is probably the highest. I also find that the difficulty in the reading passage depends largely on the subject...

  4. New Nurse Mistakes

    LoyalWeim replied to Mabesma's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Many of the OPs questions are right there available- immediately at her fingertips. Many people do not do their own research which frankly helps people to learn in my opinion. In addition, it is...

  5. Rant:How NOT to be a nurse

    LoyalWeim replied to crnahole's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am concerned that this may be a common theme. My brother was very sick with Pneumothorax last year and spent 5 days in the ICU. His lungs collapsed twice: once because of incorrect insertion of...

  6. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    Thank you, Briana. I have inquired about this with my advisor. I was under the impression that we were to take these starting in Jan 2015 prior to the official classes starting in May 2015. It...

  7. How I Passed the TEAS Exam

    LoyalWeim replied to rainbowvahmet's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I am surprised that you feel that the ATI study manual was insufficient for the science portion. I found that you need to know the material very well, but that the study manual does indeed cover what...

  8. Midlife Career Change to Nursing - Advice, please

    LoyalWeim replied to mcgocara31's topic in Nursing Career

    Hey, Wait wait wait.... keep in mind you are getting advice from people that are ALREADY nurses. I am in a very similar situation as you are and what this post and it's responses tell me is that...

  9. Teas V

    LoyalWeim replied to AspiringRN2018's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    It is difficult to answer this because I wouldn't want you to ignore A&P and not do well on account that I told you that you are fine. The ATI study manual really does provide most of what you...

  10. How many of you guys studied the TEAS this way

    LoyalWeim replied to Mchs4735's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Hi dorkypanda, If you are like me and currently not working then there is simply no (good) reason to not overprepare. I suppose the only exception would be that you already have all four sections...

  11. Teas V Science and Math?

    LoyalWeim replied to joqueen's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I agree with keylimesqueez. The ATI online tests are quite difficult but they did help me to better prepare. They seem expensive to me but I suppose it was worth it. The science section on the...

  12. Online test vs. The test in the book

    LoyalWeim replied to Mchs4735's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If you are asking whether the ATI online tests are the same as the ATI study manual, no they are not. I was concerned about purchasing the online tests because I thought that they might have been...

  13. I passed!

    LoyalWeim replied to augurey's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I have the exact same issue. Reading is more difficult for me simply because I am nervous which makes comprehension very difficult. I found that I ran up against the clock in the reading section...

  14. Teas V Science and Math?

    LoyalWeim replied to joqueen's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    SU2013, If you acknowledge that algebra and geometry are difficult for you then study for those even harder. Keep in mind that there are only 30 questions in the math section so you don't want to...

  15. How I Passed the TEAS Exam

    LoyalWeim replied to rainbowvahmet's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Rainbow, kudos to you! You are spot-on in your assessment. I was terrified of the science section so I studied it hard for about two weeks. I recommend 4-6 weeks preparation for those that have...

  16. Math help

    LoyalWeim replied to dorkypanda's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    1/1t + 1/2t = 3/2t NOT 1/3t. In other words, if it takes Bob 1 hour to clean the pool and Mary 2 hours to clean the pool, then it will take: 1/1t + 1/2t = 1/TOTAL => 1/1 + 1/2 = 3/2 => so we...

  17. TEAS test

    LoyalWeim replied to MrsC336's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    MrsC336, I am in a similar situation. I am attempting to transition from over 15 years in engineering to nursing. For me, math is the easiest but that is expected given my engineering background. I...

  18. UT Tyler nursing spring

    LoyalWeim replied to jadasimons's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello, I will be submitting my application this week for UT Tyler, Spring 2015. I just took the TEAS V exam last Saturday. Are any of you applying for the accelerated BSN track as I am? I am under...
