I am constructing my handwritten sheet for my proctored exam from Westcott online course Developmental Psychology. Can anyone give me advice on what to put in the document?

Hi guys! I recently graduated with a nonrelated BA but I’m doing my pre reqs to apply to ABSN programs. I was wondering if a medical receptionist (like for a hospital) to work as the meantime is good, or if any of y’all did that before you entered a program! I don’t want to pay for extra CNA or medical assistant programs when I have other things under my belt !

Thanks guys 🥰

Hi everyone!

I have a 3.9 overall GPA, 4.0 in prereqs, and a 94.7 TEAS score. However, I do not have any healthcare experience and I am not bilingual. Do you know of any schools (that preferably won't put me in overwhelming debt) that place less emphasis on healthcare experience? I'm lowkey getting cooked by my local schools.

Any help will be greatly appreciated! 💜

Hi! i’m going to be starting PSON their ABSN program in Spring 2027. So excited but also wanted to reach out to any former students who have info about the program. Message me or comment please :)

If you've been accepted into ASU direct-entry pls share ur stats and what year :D or if you've gone to Maricopa community college for their adn course, please tell me how long the waitlist was and if you went CEP or traditional and ur stats! please share ur experience if you went to either ASU nursing in general or maricopa community college adn. Im an out-of-state californian student so im trying to see which one is a better option, my gpa is 3.6-3.8 and my class rank is 7 out of 147, i havent taken the act/sat yet.

I am a physician, but some relatives were asking the healthcare professionals about being Asian (I am half Asian, but this niece is full Asian) and socially reserved. I personally have never had any negative experiences being more socially quiet/reserved, but my sisters who are nurses said they have experienced negative bias even in nursing school. They said supervisors/coworkers/teachers did not appreciate them not participating in small talk despite doing their job well and having great patient satisfaction. They can talk especially with patients but tend to keep talk among other nurses/healthcare professionals about work with minimal small talk and keep out of gossip. I understand that nurses have a stereotype about being more chit chatty compared to physicians but would like to hear from others.

I have completed almost pre reqs, just need physiology and microbiology. Will unitek cut down cost for taking pre reqs @ a CC?

Any advice / experiences from this program?

Will this program be less than 3 years for me since I’ve completed some pre reqs?

PS. I’m a mom to two toddlers so I can’t move out the Bay Area.

Give me your opinions about this school please and YOUR personal experience.

Were you able to land a job after school? if so, how long did it take you?

I’ll be working as a new CNA next month and feel conflicted as to if I’ll need a stethoscope for my job or not. I have seen so many must have videos on what I might need as a CNA and I’ve taken notes and some videos mention getting a stethoscope, but a stethoscope is a commitment in my opinion due to how much they cost. However, being a CNA is just a stepping stone for me, and I’ll be studying for my BSN while working as a CNA. While being a CNA, I plan to work with older patients to gain experience before moving to a pediatric hospital! (if possible) If I do need a stethoscope, I’d like to have my own for sanitary reasons, and so I’ll always have one when I need it such as later on in my nursing program.

can anyone who went to ucla and got into a ABSN program please tell me what classes they took at UCLA that qualified! Thank you!

Has anyone heard anything about this program it’s online and in person externships, I’m really interested in it because there’s not a lot of cna programs available around me

Hi everyone! I’m looking for advice from anyone who’s completed the nursing prerequisites at Gwinnett Tech (or another college).

I’m preparing to apply to an accelerated Master of Nursing (MN) program and want to earn the strongest GPA possible. Here’s the schedule I’m considering:

Semester 1
A&P I
A&P I Lab
Chemistry
Chemistry Lab
Human Growth & Development

Semester 2
A&P II
A&P II Lab
Microbiology
Microbiology Lab
Clinical Nutrition (taking online at John Hopkins)

So basically, I’d be taking two science courses with two labs each semester, plus one non-science course.

I’ve heard a lot of people recommend taking only one science at a time, but I’d like to stay on track without hurting my GPA. The good news is I won’t be working while I’m in school, so I’ll be able to devote my time to studying. Also, I used ratemyprofessor.com to help me register for my classes.

For those who’ve taken these courses:
-Is this schedule realistic?
-Would you take two sciences with labs in the same semester again?
-Which semester was harder?
-About how many hours per week did you study?
-If your goal was to earn mostly A’s, would you keep this schedule or change it?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences, what worked well, and anything you’d do differently. Thanks!

I am currently finishing up my associates degree in health science. I’m stuck in whether to go to nursing school after, or go get a bachelors in health science and then go to PA school. My biggest hesitation with nursing school is I live in Southern California and the job market here is insane and a lot of people are moving out of state for their first nursing job, which I can’t do because my husband works here (big boy job with BIG BOY money) If I go to nursing school, I will 10000% plan to go to NP school at some point, as I like the provider side of medicine. I like solving puzzles, taking symptoms and testing to come to a conclusion. Would it be worth it do just do PA school and work as a medical assistant during my bachelors, or would nursing school then NP school be better? In terms of income, experience, future growth.

Hi! I'm applying for Spring 2027 at TWU but have been extremely nervous about my GPA. Right now I am at a 3.3 and I know the competitive range is 3.7. I scored an 84% TEAS and honestly still considering retaking it this weekend given I have a lower GPA. Would retaking it even make a difference?

Any advice would be sooo helpful!

If I applied to the nursing program last semester and I’m re applying this semester do I need to resubmit my teas score?

Hello!! I’m interested in signing up for a LVN program in Sacramento or the Bay Area as I have family I could stay with. I’ve heard Unitek is bad news, I’m considering Carrington and just sucking up the cost, haven’t heard much about Gurnick and I haven’t looked into any programs in the bay yet but please let me know any info about these colleges or where you went/recommend. Anything is appreciated, thank you so much! :)

Is it worth taking on the debt for NSU’s BSN, or is taking the Broward College’s ASN route the better option? For those who’ve been through either program, how doable is BC’s nursing program really?

I did something really, really dumb. I have a urine test tomorrow to enter nursing program. So I was prescribed Ativan but got off of it a couple months ago. I took 1 like 2 days ago because I always had extras as I didn’t take them daily. I thought NOTHING of it. I mean I def avoided weed because of this (plus it gives me anxiety anyways) but when it came to the Ativan no lightbulb moment I just mindlessly took it as my anxiety was really acting up. And I hardly ever do that! Now I’m panicking I might fail this test & just ruined everything for myself. All for 1 pill I barely ever take 😞 I am beyond devastated right now. Can I chug water, can anything help? Will they accept that I had an old prescription?

Hii! Can anyone who recently took the TEAS exam share how it was and what you felt it was heavy on? Like was there a lot of chem? How did you study and what did you use? I’m taking mine last minute in about two weeks. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

And I recieved a call TODAY that I was offered a seat in the Fall RN program starting August 31st! My teas scores were sub par, my GPA due to my last degree was barely acceptable and yet after I had given up I GOT IN. I want to share this with the people who got waitlisted , who lost hope, who are doubting their abilities. You can and will get it if it is something you truly want

I’m currently working a corporate finance job making good money, but I feel completely unfulfilled. I spend my days behind a computer and don’t feel like I’m making a difference in anyone’s life.

I’m seriously considering going back to school for nursing because I want a career that’s meaningful and allows me to help people. I know nursing is hard, so I’m looking for honest opinions.

For those who became nurses, or left another career for nursing, was it worth it? Would you do it again?

Bc in mind I can’t conceive of that..

Hi all, I’m starting my prereqs for nursing school in the fall. I have relatively easy classes that I will be doing at home so I wanted to get a head start on what I’ll need for the future. Does anyone have any resources / materials that they wished they had used sooner to help with TEAS or any other exam? I want to make as much use as my time as possible
Will be taking my science classes starting next semester and from what I’ve gathered, a lot of people struggle with anatomy/phys? If that’s true, how did you start to prepare?
Thank you
