  1. Is nursing school as bad as they say?

    ilovebirds replied to sarahelaine08's topic in General Students

    Hi! I'm a nursing student in my 3rd semester of my nursing program. Definitely work on time management skills. Even if you're already good in that area, you might find that you'll need to brush up...

  2. Starting clinicals - Question

    ilovebirds replied to Philly85's topic in General Students

    Hello! Congrats on the awesome grades! I myself am still a student and started clinicals last semester. We had a clinical instructor present on the unit who monitored the students and observed...

  3. Reading tips?

    ilovebirds replied to mininurse24's topic in General Students

    I try to make a habit of reviewing the key points before delving into the chapter so I at least have an idea of what I should pay more attention to. Highlighting is a good idea, but it's easy to...

  4. Helppppp

    ilovebirds replied to alishaH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^^^ The TEAS book from ATI is amazing - and the online practice tests are as well! I studied for two or three weeks prior to mine and I made an 85. Study study study! Good luck

  5. Does anyone find it hard to study during breaks?

    ilovebirds replied to sashaq's topic in General Students

    I'm having a hard time, myself. I feel incredibly guilty but still continue to slack

  6. first nursing semester jitters

    ilovebirds replied to mbtsab's topic in General Students

    A laptop is a good idea - depending on your note-taking style! Depending on how long your lectures are, I'd advise bringing a few small snacks and a water bottle.

  7. Question about DNP programs

    ilovebirds posted a topic in General Students

    Hey guys. Not sure if this is the right area to post this in, but I am a BSN student who seeks to apply to DNP school as soon as I can. I understand that this is often seen as a not-so-desirable move...

  8. Having a hard time with the people in my nursing school...

    ilovebirds replied to tbnurse1's topic in General Students

    As others have said, you need to focus on your studies and try to stay above it. You coming out of this with a degree is far more important. In my program there was a touch of drama in the first...

  9. Question about DNP programs

    ilovebirds replied to ilovebirds's topic in General Students

    To clarify, I am still in the BSN program - going into the 3rd out of the 5th semester of it next month. :) I appreciate the input, and I think what I would like to do is perhaps work part time while...

  10. Question about manual blood pressure monitoring

    ilovebirds posted a topic in General Students

    Hey guys! Nursing student here. I have a question - I know how to take blood pressure, and have been checked off on being able to do it. However, when I compare my results against a digital cuff,...

  11. Human Nutrition Online

    ilovebirds replied to baileynursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Okay yeah, I forgot about this frequently being a part of online courses...you may find yourself spending much more time coming up with posts than you would just sitting in a classroom...and often...

  12. A&P 1 final

    ilovebirds replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. Anatomy and Physiology grades this semester.

    ilovebirds replied to .Olive.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, it largely depends on what school you are trying to get into - don't let this discourage you, though!! Perhaps if you have Anatomy/Physiology II you'll be able to bring up your science gpa with...

  14. Human Nutrition Online

    ilovebirds replied to baileynursingstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took nutrition in-person, and it was really easy. I've also taken quite a few online courses, and most are pretty okay. Online science courses, such as A&P, can be more frustrating - especially...

  15. How long did you study for the TEAS?

    ilovebirds replied to Salinnax3's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I studied for the TEAS V for around 2 or 3 weeks and passed with an 86 or so. I would HIGHLY recommend taking the practice exams online - yes, they are a bit pricey, but they *really* help you see...

  16. College books are the biggest scams ever

    ilovebirds replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's the frustrating part for me. I like being able to write in my textbooks...and you usually just can't with e-books. However, the Kindle app (if you can get your textbook through Kindle, that is)...

  17. College books are the biggest scams ever

    ilovebirds replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know the feeling. This term, I ended up not using 3 of the books I forked over my money for. So annoying...lesson learned: don't buy ahead of time!!! And I know exactly what you mean by the unbound...

  18. Overwhelmed by Prerequisites

    ilovebirds replied to Compassionate22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I felt really overwhelmed as well. I just wanted to be done with everything as fast as possible, and ended up cramming too many courses into one term in hopes of early admission...which didn't work...

  19. What classes did you take with A&P?

    ilovebirds replied to kayclarke's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on a few things, like if you need general education courses in addition to nursing prereqs, if you need to maintain a certain number of credit hours, and so on. :) As for me, I am attending...

  20. Question about scoring...

    ilovebirds replied to ilovebirds's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Ok thank you. I just thought it might've been an issue because I didn't do too great in one area of the science part. (Also thought I replied earlier...hope I'm not double

  21. Question about scoring...

    ilovebirds posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I took the TEAS V this morning and made an overall score of 85.3% - 90.5% in Reading, 96.7% in Math, 72.9% in Science, and 86.7% in English/Language Usage. However, in one particular area of the...

  22. Question about scoring...

    ilovebirds replied to ilovebirds's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I was just a bit worried that scoring under 60% in one area would be an issue, despite the categorical score being high enough. (It looks like it shouldn't be,

  23. Transferring to a school near SF?

    ilovebirds posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hello, I am a current pre-nursing student at the University of Memphis and I would like to move to San Francisco or near it. Are there any schools I could transfer to without huge complications?

  24. How to study for online courses?

    ilovebirds posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, I am taking A&P I this fall and it is an online course, due to my university only offering it online. My academic advisor also told me it was a difficult course, and that online courses are...

  25. How to study for online courses?

    ilovebirds replied to ilovebirds's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you VERY much for the advice! Unfortunately, I don't *think* it is an option at this point. Had I known at an earlier time, I would have chosen a community college for
