  1. I have a non-related Bachelors degree, as do many (most) of my class. There were a couple younger kids, but they were the exception. A degree in another field will show that you are capable of...
  2. I became close to a girl who is ESL (it may actually be her 3rd language) and she had a very difficult time with our testing. We would study together and she would have the material down better than...
  3. Anyone else a planner nerd?

    I am a planner nerd, too, except mine is just of the $12 variety. Couldn't live without it. I use different colored highlighters to color code everything written in it--my kids' schedule, my schedule,...
  4. Just started. I am
  5. Non trad nursing student

    Congrats! I, too, am a non-traditional student--2 kids, a goldendoodle, 2 cats. :)
  6. bombed a semester?

    I spent my first year in college at 18 bombing out and being placed on academic probation. I did end up eventually getting into two nursing programs, but that was after earning a BA in my mid-20s with...
  7. I, too, was torn between nursing and social work. I was accepted to two nursing programs and a MSW for this fall and really struggled with what to choose. In the end, after lots of discussions and...
  8. Ok Class of 2017, Where are you??

    I start this week. Must admit--feeling
  9. Ethics question.

    Are you referring to Katie Duke and others such as Nurse Eye Roll (can't remember her real name)? I know they often promote scrubs and products. I never paid attention to whether they disclosed it but...
  10. #1 on waitlist

    I'm not sure why it would be different for an LPN program so I just wanted to give you some hope. I was accepted to one program, wait listed on the other for fall and just got called today off the...
  11. I have been following this thread because I have applied to both nursing schools and an MSW program for this fall. I have not heard back from the MSW yet, but I have been accepted to an RN program....
  12. Just received a letter

    The wait list around here is basically what the poster above as their alternates. At the school I was wait listed at, it was less than 20 students long and you got called up if one of their first...
  13. I got an adjusted individual score of 78ish (advanced) on TEAS V. I severely underestimated it and didn't prepare much. If I could go back and do it again, I would definitely get the ATI book for...
  14. Associates after Bachelors

    I have a BA in Sociology and am about to start an RN program (ASN). I must admit, part of me was a bit disappointed to be going back to community college after a bachelor's. It did make me wonder for...
  15. Planning to take any summer classes?

    I am hoping to take A&P 1 this summer as it is "strongly recommended" that we take it the summer before we begin nursing
  16. Waiting...and worried

    Hi all. I took my TEAS today which is one of the last things I needed to get done. It wasn't great, but I didn't study much, so... (kicking myself.) I did scrape into the "Advanced" level but I was...
  17. Nursing is Family Friendly?

    Hi everyone. I have gotten into a nursing program beginning this fall. I'm feeling very excited to get started. However, now that it is a reality, I am starting to really think about the logistics of...
  18. Nursing is Family Friendly?

    Thank you. That makes perfect sense to
  19. Nursing is Family Friendly?

    Thank you for the great input all. Anything that helps me get a fuller picture is much appreciated! Several of you have supported my thought that since the shifts I want are typically "undesirable",...
  20. Acceptance/Rejection Letter

    Good luck everyone still waiting! Both of my programs were unusually quick (2 weeks for one, 3-4 for the other!) but even that felt like
  21. Another GPA Question

    I just finished up applying to two nursing schools. I have a BA, but went back to community college after the fact to do chem and bio. When I applied, all either school cared about was my most recent...
  22. Physics on TEAS

    I took it today. There were a few physics questions but they were fairly
