   sophiemicaela replied to kantwine's topic in School Programs

   The program begins in Jan, graduation is in December! I graduated in Dec 2019 (Wreck em!). I don't think anyone in my specific cohort is in the NICU but more than half of us are employed in the ICU, one student even is in the OR which is definitely n...

   So some books you can totally get older editions and be just fine while others, it's more difficult. I 100% read the pediatric, maternal/newborn, medsurg, & pharm books cover to cover. Some books have basically the same info as one edition prior,...

   I wish you well on your quest...not saying this to be a debbie downer at all BUT - I hope your work has extremely flexible hours only because our schedules can be really unpredictable. While it is true that they try to give us all our exam and confer...

   Danskos are great since they’re a firm sole but I stopped wearing mine because they got to be too heavy and honestly I was scared I was going to trip in them haha. Definitely depends on the person!

   Honestly, they did not care about our shoes as long as they were the correct color. You’re going to be on your feet a TON, so definitely buy something that is going to be supportive and comfortable! I’ve been wearing Saucony Ride ISO’s in black all y...

   I would purchase from a storefront like Life Uniform or maybe Allheart.com! I’m upgrading to a cardiology stethoscope since I’ll be in critical care and I plan to use allheart. They have some specials going on plus a 10% off your first purchase ? als...

   Texas Tech Accelerated 2nd Degree BSN 2019

   sophiemicaela replied to firstgenrn's topic in School Programs

   Congrats on your admission! ? I'll try to keep this as short & sweet as possible 1) It is highly unlikely you'll be able to work part-time; mostly because you will on average be in clinical 2xs a week, sometimes 3xs a week when you have specialt...

    You’re correct that you’ll never have courses on the weekends but it is very likely you’ll be in clinical on some weekends depending on your nurse preceptor’s schedule! Some have have asked about working - it definitely is doable but makes your life...

    Hi! 1) I feel like based on the forum from last year, the majority of students that received interviews were offered admission. It all seemed like a blur, but I honestly only remember maybe 3-4 people posting about not being offered a position. If yo...

    Hey y'all, Last year, we heard back right at the 3-week mark; hang in there, I KNOW it's agonizing. Some of you have reached out to me during this time of anticipation, and I just wanted to post on here what I have told some of you already: There was...

    Hang in there you guys! I’d be super surprised if you didn’t hear something by the end of this week/next week. Try to distract yourself as much as possible and keep an eye on that email! I know now it feels like an eternity, it will all be over soo...

    I just wanted to hop on here to give y’all some encouragement. I remember being antsy myself last year & just know that this program is great but isn’t always the most organized. Try not to get in your heads too much and over analyze, things hav...

    Don’t get discouraged! Tech cares about more than just a perfect GPA! It is a factor but they’ll look at TEAS score, resume, work experience if any, etc! ?
