   noimnotamermaid posted a topic in School Programs

   Please don't come here with "HCA!!*!%!” I'm well aware they're HCA, the problems with HCA, etc. A good majority of the hospitals in my area are HCA and I'm currently affiliated with them, so I promise it's more than noted. I would love to hear fro...

2. To hold or not??

   noimnotamermaid replied to Cclm's topic in Medications

   This can definitely be a tough one. One place I worked the endocrinologist would get very upset for a hold for low sugars. He even specifically said he would give long acting down to 70 BG. 🙃 That being said, my personal rule/feel out has been s...

4. CCTN application/process

   noimnotamermaid posted a topic in General Nursing

   Hello all, I know some conversation has happened regarding the CCTN but I am STRUGGLING trying to get my application done. Has anyone used the "goAMP" site (which is really just PSI)? Or did you use the paper application and wait for confirmatio...

5. Math in nursing school

   noimnotamermaid replied to Beldar_the_Cenobite's topic in Pre-Nursing

   A little late to the thread, buuuuut.... Nursing, at least BSN level, really only needs college algebra and honestly you're going to learn more than you need math-wise in that class. I took precal (and Calc) in high school. Personally, I think PreCal...

6. I'm failing anatomy!

   noimnotamermaid replied to wannabenurse88's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Anatomy is hard, and I will give it that. Honestly, it is dumb to compare them. Anatomy is a "base" and only class, nursing school is an experience. (Lol) Also, I don't know how your school does it, but I took A&P separately and I feel there is a...

7. What is passing for your nursing program?

   noimnotamermaid replied to WanderingWilder's topic in General Students

   In my BSN program, we were required to have a 70 average for tests (no rounding), then calculate your grade from there if you passed. I know that a change to 75 average/pass grade is in the works. This semester they implemented ATI as part of our gra...

10. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

    noimnotamermaid replied to TexRN's topic in Texas

    Truthfully, TWU is most likely the better program. However, some thing to also consider is how well you vibe with each school, the perks to each program (some schools have different labs/simulators/etc.), why NCLEX scores are what they are (some scho...

11. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

    noimnotamermaid replied to TexRN's topic in Texas

    That's really weird because I know someone who got in whose TEAS scores were in the high 70s...

    Where was that though? I checked both of my emails and didn't see that. :/

14. UTHSCSA Traditional BSN Application Fall 15

    noimnotamermaid replied to TexRN's topic in Texas

    Hey so where did whoever it was find the stats for our group? Like the average TEAS score and all? (Maybe I'm just missing it.)
