I've heard horrible things about Ms. Reyes. IS that really all true? I hear shes notorious for putting stuff in her tests thats irrelevant as well. GOSH. thats sucks!

Ms. Grant said that the only way to do well on the weekly quizzes is to actually read. BC alot of that stuff is VERY random and everyone gets different questions.

Just a little hint for the people that have Mrs. Reyes she does not go over all the material that she puts in her test questions I had her for a couple of lectures and she does teach all over the place. It's best to just thoroughly read all of the chapters and make your own notes and pay close attention to the patient teaching boxes!!! She will ask questions over material that was not covered in lecture or notes so just read and you should be okay!!!
Good Luck everyone I hope to see you in the fall!!

I also work at a ER and I have been told by many of the nurses there that they didn't start IV's until they graduated. Many of them tell me that the nursing program is mainly theory and they are not HCC graduates they are TWU and UT graduates!!

You still did good!!!! And yeah the test questions are quite tricky but it does help you enhance your critical thinking skills which enables you to use the appropriate knowledge and skilled judgments in delivering patient care.
Good Luck on your next test!!

The test was really hard. The guy sitting next to me was like freaking out and moving in his chair and sighing. I always second guess myself but, I did really well. I got 90% and I almost wanted to do a dance.

I was also told that I will have to find someway to finance my education other than financial aid. So I guess private loans??

So they have sent out letters already? I haven't gotten anything...oh no...

Don't worry about it. All the students in PHARM still have to take one more test and the math test. Ms. Grant told our class that the secretary did already pull out files... and that doesnt apply to us just yet! Just keep getting A's and you will get in! Ms. Grant said that out of 250+ students only about 12 made A's so you are one of those

I got a 92%

[AdrianLU]

Ok that's good news to hear. I would have been like ***** Our second test isn't until the 16th and the math test on the 23rd.


Now that the first test is over I know exactly what to study. I'm getting nervous even though I have an A. I look at the class stats and half the class is at least passing.

[smilesalot]

the letters are out and there will be an orientation on the 14 of july, so that is the Monday after next!

but my guess is that, the summer class will have their own orientation by august!

txgirl, AdrianLu--you did very good!
