1. Will I hate psyhe nursing more, less or same?

   Aspiring2bNP replied to myoglobin's topic in Psychiatric

   What is a typical day (if there is such a thing) for a nurse on a mobile crisis team? I have asked this question before and was lead to believe that social workers, not nurses that were on the team. It sounds interesting.

2. New Grad

   Aspiring2bNP replied to UDM2010's topic in Ob/Gyn

   On Friday, I accepted a position on a Mother/Baby unit, also. I am a new Grad who started in the ED and did not like it. I hung in for three months because I was hoping that one day I would just fall in love, but it hasn't happened. I also have guil...

   Keep us posted as to how your first day was. I am also interested in psych and would love to know your experiences.

4. Any Guys Attending Trinity Valley In Kaufman?

   Aspiring2bNP replied to techraider77's topic in Texas

   That may get you in, also. So many are assigned as "alternates". I have a feeling that they were at the end of the "9's" and possibly "8's". Quite a few people will decline their spots, so there is always hope. Good luck and I hope to see you in Fall...

5. Any Guys Attending Trinity Valley In Kaufman?

   Aspiring2bNP replied to techraider77's topic in Texas

   Judging from history, if you have at least 9 points, you have a really good chance. I am not sure where they stopped on the list, but I do know that quite a few alternates are currently in the program. I know not everyone was enrolled in Spring cours...

6. Any Guys Attending Trinity Valley In Kaufman?

   Aspiring2bNP replied to techraider77's topic in Texas

   I am planning to continue until I have my MSN, so I continued to take requirements toward that degree (Algebra, Chemistry, Stats, etc.). I don't believe that they look at what courses you are taking, just that you are enrolled in the Spring semester....

7. Any Guys Attending Trinity Valley In Kaufman?

   Aspiring2bNP replied to techraider77's topic in Texas

   I was able to get in with 9 points in Fall '08. I also took additional courses in the Spring so that I could be at the top of the list. It worked! I am unsure how far they went down on the list when accepting students. Hope that helps.

8. Any Guys Attending Trinity Valley In Kaufman?

   Aspiring2bNP replied to techraider77's topic in Texas

   I am not a guy, but I am currently in the program. We have approximately 10 males in our class. We started with more, but a few dropped for various reasons. I just finished Level I and it was an adjustment to say the least. It is a very demanding pro...

9. Heartbroken

   Aspiring2bNP replied to sbrownRN's topic in Texas

   I too am a military spouse having to transfer programs. I just finished my first semester in a nursing program and will have to transfer after next semester. We are currently living apart until I can be accepted for transfer into another program (hop...

11. so excited about starting school!

    Aspiring2bNP replied to premedturnednursing's topic in General Students

    Congrats to all! My orientation is May 2 and classes start in the fall. I am so anxious that this semester is getting harder to get through and I have summer courses (history/govt) to complete, too. I am sooooo sick of core courses and ready to star...

12. Any advice for the HESI A2 test?

    Aspiring2bNP replied to NICUplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I felt that basic concepts were covered on all aspects of the test. It didn't seem to go into any great detail in any subject. As I stated above, I only studied the study guide and was able to do well. It served the purpose of "jogging" my memory on...

13. Any advice for the HESI A2 test?

    Aspiring2bNP replied to NICUplease's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took it in 8/2007. I found it not too difficult. I studied the study guide and scored 90+ on all but the math -which is my weakest subject. I scored 88 on it. I haven't had a math course in 13 years, so I was very pleased. Just study the guide and ...

14. Scientific Calculator for Chemistry

    Aspiring2bNP replied to hkwal's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My professor recommended a TI-84. My opinion is that it's overkill and I don't know how to use most of the functions. I am only in the first few weeks of Gen Chem, so I hope that I will see the benefit of such an expensive purchase.
