    I Need Your TEAS Advice!

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

    How long did you study before sitting for the exam? Not much honestly. I did the practice tests and reviewed a bit. Is it like the SAT/ACT all over again? I don't remember - I'm an old lady. Any...

    Studying: Lined Paper vs. Blank Sheets

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Shookclays's topic in General Students

    I do both. I take notes on lined paper, then rewrite things in a sketch book (sort of concept maps). I use colors to make connections and it really helps

    Best way to memorize anatomy and physiology terms

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to sfwant2beRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would very often makes naughty associations. I've got a dark and dirty sense of humor, so I often made jokes about whatever we were learning based on the shape, or name or position and it would...

    Anatomy and physiology notes

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to shak95's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yikes. She's right. You're much better off taking your own notes. You should identify why you failed it in the first place and make changes based off of that. Reading the notes of another student,...

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

    I was lucky enough to get all mine for free (including titers) because I volunteer at University Hospital. In order to stay busy and distracted, I sent my kids to my moms for the week and we're...

    drop out and become RN or finish prerequisites for BSN?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Paul_97's topic in General Nursing

    People often make the mistake of thinking community college nursing programs are easier to get into. The only thing that's "easier" is that you generally need fewer classes to get in - but the...

    Have no idea what to do

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Itachi_7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, obviously your goal is to become a nurse. The ADN vs the BSN decision, for me, was based on the demand in my area. Just about every hospital around here requires that you get your BSN within a...

    Why do We eat our young?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nellie272003's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have, actually. Not on this site, but on a weight loss site. I didn't consider it bullying because the jokes were lighthearted and not cruel. They weren't meant to hurt me, but to be silly while...

    Why do We eat our young?

    Making jokes/using sarcasm/snide remarks aren't bullying. The fact that someone would label behavior as such is a big part of the

    Why do We eat our young?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to nellie272003's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Bullying, when it actually happens, happens in every field. It's not exclusive to nursing, or even the medical field. People can act like jerks in any setting. However, I find the term most...

    Depression?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to anxiousnscared's topic in General Nursing

    Call around and find therapists that offer sliding scale fees. Do you not qualify for any type of aid? I saw on another post that you're in nursing school - most schools offer health services, many...

    Just knocking down pre-reqs

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

    I'd do algebra in the summer, along with psych and then physio and micro in the fall if you can. Micro is an incredibly fun class, and it's worth giving it the full 16 weeks, if you can. Good

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

    I'm guessing just a rumor. When I went to the info session in July, she said it usually takes about 6 weeks. Looking back on previous threads, it seemed like it took around 4 weeks, but the program...

    Taking A&P More Than Twice

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to aer3's topic in General Students

    Some schools don't take W's into consideration when figuring how many times you've taken the course, so you may very well be able to take it again. I'd contact the school(s) you're interested in and...

    Well, what are your stats like? GPA? TEAS/HESI? Do you know why you didn't get in? What type of program are you looking for? What type of degree do you want? I'd love to help, but there's not a lot...
