   rachelerin replied to theresanelson's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am single mom in nursing school as well. My advise would be to find people you can count on to help and accept help when it is offered (it is especially important to have a back up plan for the days when your kids are sick and you have a test, *Mu...

3. Do any nurses work "normal" hours??

   rachelerin replied to KKB243's topic in General Nursing

   Take into consideration that many hospitals have 24 hour childcare. You can leave your child there up to 30 minutes before and after your shift.

4. Question for nurses, nursing students, and CNA's.

   rachelerin replied to kamaboko's topic in Oregon

   I am in nursing school now and I had no experience either. I had heard that experience would help get me in so I went and got some. I had friends who were RN who talked to their NM and allowed me to shadow (the interviewers loved that) and I went t...

   I am in a BSN program, we have an entire class on research and I am participating in a study right now on how nursing students learn and if there is a more efficient way. If you look into the university you want to go to, you can find out if it's a ...

   During the summer you *might* be able to make up one clinical...missing three would be suicidal...the summers will be hard and fast, and very few opportunities to make up.

7. UT houston spring 2010 hopefuls

   rachelerin replied to butterflykiss's topic in Texas

   Ok, the very bare bones of it is that the school decided to add about 50 part time slots and 20 more full time slots (we were told our class would be 80 ppl, ended up with ~150) The part time people are taking only patho and pharm. Which would make...

8. UT houston spring 2010 hopefuls

   rachelerin replied to butterflykiss's topic in Texas

   Hey guys! Just to ease your mind a little, for our class, UTLink changed before we got the acceptance letters. And if it says provisional acceptance, you're in. You just may need to send your shot records or final transcripts or some other paper work...

   rachelerin replied to butterflykiss's topic in Texas

   Hey guys! I am in the program now (class of December 09) and I thought I would give you all a few tips. First, you do not have to get your check up from UT health. You just have to have your doctor fill out the paper work from UT. Second, about y...

10. UT- Application Process

    rachelerin replied to Hollee Mize's topic in Texas

    My NET score was somewhere in the mid to upper 80's...I can't remember for sure. The reading section was harder than I thought it would be, but not terrible overall. Good Luck taking the test!!

11. UT- Application Process

    I have several friends who are nurses and they worked it out so I could shadow them. If you know any nurses, ask them, or ask around to friends if they know any nurses.

13. UT- Application Process

    rachelerin replied to Hollee Mize's topic in Texas

    I think they call everyone with the minimum GPA and NET score for an interview. I think they interviewed around 400 people for my class. Also I would recommend going to an information session if you haven't already done so.

14. UT- Application Process

    rachelerin replied to Hollee Mize's topic in Texas

    Have you taken your NET or whatever test they are requiring now?? For my class you HAD to have at least a 70 on the NET before you could even get an interview, No matter what your GPA was. Just a heads up!

15. UT- Application Process

    rachelerin replied to Hollee Mize's topic in Texas

    The application process is pretty straight forward. I applied, got an interview and waited (that was the hard part) I was accepted my first time (thank God!) which I wasn't really expecting because my class is the first one they only accepted 80 peo...
