    72 on the teas; but am undaunted.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to J.J 1's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    Does your program allow retakes? Mine doesn't. Your first score is the only one that

    I didn't become a nurse to feed people's addictions. Do *nurses* have the right to refuse

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

    I thought addiction was a disease. Therefore, should be treated as any other disease regardless of your personal feelings about

    Online vs. On Campus

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

    Haha @ your edit :) I'm going to apply to both and see what happens. I much prefer online learning, so if I get accepted to both, I'll likely attend UT

    Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Mtng's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't do that. Don't diminish the hard work of other people by calling them "lucky". It's

    Routes to obtaining your BSN?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Kaitlyn.w's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    RN-BSN means you get your Associate's Degree first (so you're an RN), then bridge to your Bachelors. If you want to go straight for the four year, my personal recommendation is to get your...

    What are my options outside of a hospital setting?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Exhuasted's topic in General Students

    Do you think you can handle it? Why is this your second time in nursing school? What sort of feedback have you gotten from your other clinical

    Online vs. On Campus

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

    It's a cohort, so we're all together. All of the clinical stuff is handled by the school, we just show up when we're told. There is an onsite clinical instructor and you have an academic coach. All...

    New Grad Tele job no contract vs OR Fellowship 3 year contract

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to SAS2016's topic in General Nursing

    You get six months before you have to sign the contract, right? Might be worth giving the OR a shot. Either way, congrats on all the

    I can't get "poop" taste out of my mouth?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Philly85's topic in General Nursing

    It's a little frightening that your first reaction is to slap someone that didn't do things the way you thought they should be done. I hope that's something you're working on. I'm sorry you got...

    Spring 2017 Chat

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

    Not yet, I'll find out either late tomorrow night on in class on Wednesday. I'll post my grade here though. I just met with my advisor and he informed me that I'll be graduating this May, instead of...

    Nursing school: How did you make it? How many hours should you put in per week?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    Oh using your original post as an example, to assist your understanding: people have told you to spend 10-20 hours a week studying A&P I. I spent maybe 4 hours a week and I got a 94. It was a...

    Nursing school: How did you make it? How many hours should you put in per week?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in General Students

    The point you seem to miss in all this is that NO ONE can tell you what it's like, because it's a very different experience for everyone. The teachers I love might be teachers you don't like. The test...

    Pregnant Student Nurse

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to studentnurse32/80's topic in General Students

    If your program is structured for Spring and Fall admissions, I'd probably sit out a semester just to heal and get a good routine set. If it's Fall only, I'd jump right back into the program after...

    Anyone struggling or struggled with Microbiology?

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to WCSU1987's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was wondering about this too. You need to make sure you use the correct objective - start with scanning and move up. Just doing that should make your life easier. If you're generally doing well,...

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

    Yesterday was A&P II lab exam over the cardiovascular system. The tests are pretty hard - it's a practical with 65 questions, you have 60 minutes and it's all fill in the blank (no word bank) and...

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

    Ohh, we started our Unknowns last week! We did the streak plating and I get to see tomorrow how that turned out. We don't get to do a fetal pig dissection, unfortunately - we're doing rats at the end...

    Family Life & School

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to NurseJane101214's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I make lists. Lots of lists. Things I need to do for each class, things I need to do for life, my kids, myself. I write each new week the Sunday before, and use a moleskin notebook to keep track....

    Support Planned Parenthood Today!

    ItsThatJenGirl replied to elkpark's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Forcing a woman to keep a pregnancy that was created in a violent and horrific way isn't compassionate, either. I admire your mothers choice, but that's just what it should be - a

    WILTW 2/12: The Seven Stages of Grievance (Part I)

    Purely anecdotal, but when I get really bad indigestion, chewing mint gum really helps relieve the discomfort. I hope you get some relief
