  1. Exam 1st day?!

    LJR89 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    Wow that's intense! I would be so nervous! However they specifically said "not to worry" about this test. So it's nothing they expect us to prepare for, as I understand

  2. Job advice- Patient transporter

    LJR89 posted a topic in General Students

    Hey there! I will be beginning my first semester of nursing school in a couple weeks. Like so many others I am looking for a job to gain experience and, of course, pay the bills. I do not have my CNA...

  3. Job advice- Patient transporter

    LJR89 replied to LJR89's topic in General Students

    Oh I know transport isn't easy! A lot of my job as an aid in the ER was transport from the ER to the floor or radiology, etc. but I also got to collect UAs and perform ECGs, and help keep them...

  4. Updates on Best Way to Study for the TEAS V, please

    LJR89 replied to atannery's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    All I studied was the ATI teas study guide book and practice tests ($30-40 for that book) and some free iPhone apps that provide teas type practice questions. I studied my weakest areas about 3 weeks...

  5. Should I apply?

    LJR89 replied to Brookerogers's topic in General Students

    I say just apply. You probably won't get it to be honest. But why not give it a shot?! I can't see it hurting to try. If anything you get to practice making a resume! Like someone mentioned, your...

    LJR89 replied to stro0062's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! The 10th. I can wait that long... I think. Maybe.

  7. Normandale RN Clinicals

    LJR89 replied to stro0062's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I only took comm and ethics at ncc this spring, transferred everything else in from NDSU. And I definitely didn't see any familiar faces at orientation. So I definitely feel your struggle. I just...

  8. North Hennepin or Anoka Ramsey?

    LJR89 replied to vonricter222's topic in School, College Programs

    http://mn.gov/health-licensing-boards/images/Number_and_Firsttime_Success_Rate_of_NCLEXRN_Candidates_Educated_i_021009.pdf here try that. Looks like Nhcc is a bit higher

  9. North Hennepin or Anoka Ramsey?

    LJR89 replied to vonricter222's topic in School, College Programs

    Step 1: research what the Nclex pass rates are for these schools. That's pretty much the best way to judge which is better by looking at success rates. (A lot if the MANE schools are pretty similar so...

  10. Normandale RN Clinicals

    LJR89 replied to stro0062's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't heard anything! There is so much unknown about a lot of these mane programs, and normandale in particular! I'm so glad you reached out because the silence had been excruciating! it seems...

  11. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    LJR89 replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    I would try to speak to a financial aid counselor. They can help you navigate fafsa and tell you your options when your family isn't contributing towards tuition. They can also explain what loans can...

  12. Discouraged undergrad student about grades

    LJR89 replied to molllyhenderson's topic in General Students

    For most colleges, your major should be "pre-nursing" until you apply and are accepted to a program. Then "nursing" will be your major. You do not need a degree in a different major to start a nursing...

  13. NDSU and NDU bsn programs??

    LJR89 replied to ambkg21's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know anything about the UND program (atleast I think that's what university you're asking about) but I do know that the NDSU nursing program is extremely competitive. I did not get accepted...

  14. Should I purposely fail my class?

    LJR89 replied to Rilesss's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A 'W' looks better than a bad grade. Take the 'W'. I repeat... Take the 'W'. None of your options are super great it sounds like, but withdrawing doesn't technically hurt your gpa. Take the

  15. TEAS V, how to score a 60%

    LJR89 replied to Losa's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    The composite score is simply what percentage of all the questions you got correct. That being said there are: 48 reading questions 34 math 54 science 34 English/language usage (Not all of the...

  16. Need help!

    LJR89 replied to Tasp72's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure it depends on your school. But a lot of places allow you to petition to extend financial aid. I'm in that process right now and talking to financial aid advisors. It's been an easier process...

  17. Pre-Degree Volunteering?

    LJR89 replied to hereappleapple's topic in General Students

    Check the hospitals in the area. I've volunteered at my local hospital in the NICU and Emergency Department. It was a lot of cleaning/stocking but you still get to see a lot and have an opportunity to...

  19. Test day ritual?

    LJR89 posted a topic in General Students

    *just for fun* Everybody's got 'em. Besides all the studying, what's your weird/interesting or helpful/confidence boosting ritual for test days? Mine? (I wear my favorite pair of underwear and/or...

  20. Fall 2016 Nursing School Applicant Support Group

    LJR89 replied to emmjayy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I also study best by writing, OP! But whenever I have a few minutes to kill (waiting in a line, taking a lunch or snack break, etc) I like to use the quizlet app and flip through some of the flash...

  21. Normandale RN Clinicals

    LJR89 replied to stro0062's topic in General Nursing

    I know this post is very old. But where did you end up doing your clinicals? I know there's been a lot of changes to the program since you posted it, but just curious in case they are the

    LJR89 posted a topic in General Students
