    Mine said domestic violence nurse. I didn't know that was a thing. I want to be SANE certified when I grow

    Best Planner for Nursing School

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to sweetcheeks2626's topic in General Students

    I start on Monday, but I actually made my own planner. I bought a journal at Target, and went from there. It's just lined pages that I break up into weeks (weekdays only) with colorful tape and cute...

    Real books vs ebooks

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Polly Peptide's topic in General Students

    Are there any books that you got in nursing school that you still use? I'm curious if there are some tried and true books I need physical copies

    Am I cut out for nursing

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to larson1013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh no! I'm glad he's okay. I don't have experience with this yet, but I imagine it's a LOT harder to keep your cool when it's someone you love in distress. Brownbrook gave some great advice, best of...

    No Respect.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to CardiacDork's topic in General Nursing

    My post had nothing to do with nursing - or the validity of his complaints. It had to do with the general vibe I get from this particular poster as a person. I'm entitled to those opinions, despite...

    What should I expect?

    Thank you all so much! Classes start Monday and it feels great to have a better grasp on what I'm about to

    What should I expect?

    ItsThatJenGirl posted a topic in General Students

    I can mostly figure out what each class is going to cover, but any additional input is appreciated. I know this stuff varies from school to school, I'm just looking for general information. And no,...

    Nursing pay..Check this out!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to FrankRN2017's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't just nursing, FYI. It's pretty much any skilled job out there. Check out police salaries in California vs. Texas for example, or physician salaries. My husband is a plumber and even his...

    Is nursing for me

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    Based on your previous posting history, I'm not sure nursing is the career for you. The fact that you got into a ABSN program doesn't mean much (IMO) when it's a for-profit school that's in the...

    NursingCAS help!!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to atd1122's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In my experience, yes. As long as transcripts show received, you're fine - they will verify them before sending your application over. You should, of course, verify this with your intended school....

    Stuck in a dilemma

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to CyHiiigh's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    To be perfectly frank, you're not a competitive applicant at this point. I'd even go so far as to suggest moving somewhere that doesn't have the competition that LA has. Take your TEAS asap so you...

    Competitive GPA

    You could also check your schools website for profiles from previous admissions. Mine has the average GPA, TEAS score and other useful

    TEAS 6: Can I skip questions and go back to them later on the test?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to hello77kitty's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Just to clarify, you can skip questions within the same section. You can't skip one in math, move onto reading, then go back to

    Are you allowed to use a calculator on the TEAS test 2017

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to uniquebeauty123's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    If this helps at all, I found the test really fraction/ratio/decimal heavy. Science was the hardest part, though science has arguably been my strength in school. You have to read the questions VERY...

    I have 3.8 GPA with 3 Fs and 5 W on my transcript, will nursing schools reject me? :(

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to SamaraS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You mention "replacing" the F's. There are a lot of schools that don't take replacement grades - or if they do, they also count the original F (so the grade would be a C, essentially). That said, some...

    Real books vs ebooks

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Polly Peptide's topic in General Students

    I like ebooks for the convenience of being able to search through the entire book for a word or topic, when I'm studying or writing a paper. I can get exactly where I need to be in seconds and be able...

    Schools grading scale

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Ibyn26's topic in General Students

    When were you given a handbook? We have to sign ours before we can start classes. Is this a for-profit school? And yes, it is completely okay for a school to have a grading policy like this. The...
