  1. Getting into nursing school when you have a previous bachelor's degree in something else

    mama12 replied to jabita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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. can a non-native speaker do well in nursing school?

    mama12 replied to jabita's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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?

    mama12 replied to AshBuggin's topic in General Students

    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. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    mama12 replied to Joe V's topic in General Students

  5. Non trad nursing student

    mama12 replied to 4fleurykids's topic in General Students

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

  6. bombed a semester?

    mama12 replied to nurseviv30's topic in General Students

    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. So torn between Nursing and Social Work... advice?

    mama12 replied to nybsn's topic in General Students

    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??

    mama12 replied to Wifeoffireman's topic in School, College Programs

    I start this week. Must admit--feeling

  9. Ethics question.

    mama12 replied to CraigB-RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    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

    mama12 replied to Bee9212's topic in General Students

    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. Leaving Social Work to become a Nurse Practitioner

    mama12 replied to dazed&confused8's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    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

    mama12 replied to bigjsnake's topic in General Students

    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. What TEAS score did you get & did you get accepted in the nursing program?

    mama12 replied to nursein2012's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    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

    mama12 replied to Infofreak411's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    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?

    mama12 replied to cocoa_puff's topic in General Students

    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

    mama12 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    mama12 posted a topic in General Nursing

    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...

    Thank you. That makes perfect sense to

  19. Nursing is Family Friendly?

    mama12 replied to mama12's topic in General Nursing

    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

    mama12 replied to Damselfly's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    mama12 replied to KayGee's topic in General Students

    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...
