Oh yea! I also really, really, really dislike SATA questions. Hoping to get a better hang of them as quickly as I can.

I miss AN so much. This is the first time I have been on here in a while. I have learned so much new stuff since starting NS. I miss my friends a lot. My instructors were right when they told us we would probably no longer be straight A students . (s...

Relax

I personally do not know anything about California programs, but I wanted to mention something to you. If I were you I would check with the program/programs of your choice to see what the minimum TEAS V score is (if there is one), and also check to s...

I have never heard of Charles Cullen before, so I googled him. Wow! I have heard many stories about nurses like this, and it always scares the crap out of me. (Sorry to go off topic just wanted to share)

What is GTCC?

For my program (and probably all of them?) we had to be cleared by a MD. Good luck.

I have a half sleeve that I love, however it has to be covered for NS. I have one on the back of my neck and one behind my ear. (regret those 2 for sure) Our schools policy is no visible tattoos. Any time I have been to the school for anything nursin...

Be aware some schools do not take repeat classes. Make sure you look into the policies of the schools you are applying to. Good luck!

Six days...gosh! The accelerated programs sound so intense!

I purchased a Littman Classic ii yesterday. I have heard good things about them as well. I kind of wish I would have gotten the cardiology 3, especially since it was only about $30 more on Amazon. DNP program, ah how awesome! I hope I make it that fa...

That is a busy schedule. Our program is never more than 2 nursing classes in a semester..

School bookstores are very expensive. I bought all of mine on Amazon for right around $600. I think the bookstore price was between $800 and $900. My class is 8 credit hours, so not too bad. Our program is Mon-Fri daytime. I just ordered a new stet...

I start the 24th. I am so excited, nervous, all sorts of things. I am starting an ADN program. We only have one class the first semester, which is fundamentals of nursing. Thankfully, I don't have any other classes to take except my nursing classes. ...

My deadline for Flu shot "says" July 30, but we were notified we are not able to fulfill this requirement until October. Check with your program's compliance specialist to make sure. If you are indeed required to get this now, they should be able to ...

I second the Alegrias. You really can not put a price tag on good shoes. Plus, you can wear them long after NS. I purchased my first pair a few months ago, and wore them around my house to get used to them. For me it was different because they have a...

Study, don't slack off. Take it seriously. Look thorough some of the posts here on AN about people not taking their classes seriously, now trying to get into NS, and struggling because they slacked off in the beginning. Work hard and you will be fine...

Whoa!! I was just e mailed a full semester schedule, this is going to be crazy! I am definitely feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment. I knew it was coming, but I did not know it was gonna be like this. I can't wait for my 2 week break between w...

How awesome!! My experience with the special ed system has been wonderful. I hope he thrives there. Oh goodness, I am smiling from ear to ear.

It sounds like she needs to get a job so she can interact with other people. The way you make it sound she does not do anything but school. I was out of work for 3 moths and I was driving my SO crazy because I was home alone all day. As soon as he wo...

I'm gonna add a something about planners. I was set on an Erin Condren, but I really did not want to spend that much money on it. There is another planner made by "me and my big ideas" The happy planner is what it is called. You can buy it straight f...

I had some chemistry questions on my TEAS test. I do not remember there being a lot, but there were a few. Good luck.

Plan ahead. I had to wait 60 days to retake the TEAS. It seems the closer to the application deadlines, the more people are trying to rush to take the TEAS.

In NC you can challenge the state test, so maybe you can there too? Be careful though, they are very strict on the skills part.

I think they are competitive, but I am glad they are. I would hate for people with mediocre grades and no drive to get in and possibly distract others. We had 250 people apply to the program I got into, and they accepted 45ish - I can't remember exa...
