1. Patient Falls- national (USA) statistics desperately needed

   jac133 replied to nursingosaurus's topic in Safety

   Statistics that I found on TJC's website had this disclaimer: "The reporting of most sentinel events to The Joint Commission is voluntary and represents only a small proportion of actual events. Therefore, these data are not an epidemiologic data set...

2. Im a little worried, should I be?

   jac133 replied to chocolateskye's topic in Texas

   It's really tough to get a job right now as a GN/RN with minimal experience, so I would take it... I don't have any experience with that location, but I have a friend who will be starting there this January and it was her top pick (she turned down a...

3. Houston January GN Programs

   jac133 posted a topic in Texas

   Can anyone give me an approximate start date for some of the Houston GN programs for the January cohort? I've got a lot of things I'm trying to plan, and I want to make sure I keep my calendar open so that if I'm lucky enough to get a job, my plans ...

4. UTHSCSA spring 2010 hopefuls!

   jac133 replied to itsMEkassiah's topic in Texas

   Hey Andan, generic track is the regular 2 year program. Not everyone with a prior degree gets into the accelerated program (I was one that didn't), but because things are changing around here, who knows? I'll just reiterate to everyone - if you have...

5. UTHSCSA spring 2010 hopefuls!

   jac133 replied to itsMEkassiah's topic in Texas

   Hi everyone. I'm a current student so hopefully I can help answer some of your questions... Unless you already have a prior Bachelor's degree, you won't be eligible for the accelerated program. That may be why some of you didn't get the email. The ...

   jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas

   The auditorium is on the first floor of the same building that our interviews were in. I was there today and they had signs up showing how to get there. I asked in the Undergrad Nursing office and there is no dress code for orientation, jeans are jus...

   jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas

   I just looked through my papers, and the letter for Heart to Heart says that the bookstore will be open Jan 4th from 1pm to 5pm. It's on the pink sheet of paper in the last packet that they mailed. We detached the back sheet to mail back for Heart to...

   polter, thanks for the info. I feel bad that I'm going to miss the first thing I could go to, but I'll survive. Gotta run to my old university Monday morning to get a transcript with my degree posted anyways...I don't trust them to mail it in time, a...

   jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas

   Buying books online is tricky/risky without the ISBN. Maybe someone who has already taken the classes and used the same editions could post them? Did anyone else notice in the first letter in the new packet: "Hepatitis B -- the entire series must be ...

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas

    Ok, I was wondering about the Heart to Heart thing too. I'd hate to miss out on anything important, but since I only knew orientation was the 7th-9th, I put my last day at work down as Jan 2nd, and the last thing I feel like doing is hauling my crap...

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas

    Yep, got mine too. From what I understand, the Heart to Heart thing is not mandatory. Has anyone started shopping for books online yet? I've got a couple already, and I'm gonna start working on the rest. Orange and black uniforms, huh? I'll be...

    If you go to the Financial Aid site, on the right you can click on a link for "cost of attendance & disbursement dates." Here's the link: http://studentservices.uthscsa.edu/FA_Cost.aspx So they include housing, etc in the chart, which makes it lo...

    jac133 replied to TheguyRN's topic in Texas

    I looked at the chart they have with the cost of attendance. YIKES! I'm jealous of you accelerated people, if for nothing else, for the $$ you'll save getting out quicker, plus getting a job 6 months earlier! I hate that those of us who are getting o...

14. Houston BSN Programs

    jac133 replied to BABYLOVE1462's topic in Texas

    UH-Victoria runs a nursing program at the Sugar Land campus, although I'm not sure if that includes all of the above-mentioned options. I'm guessing that that's what the above posters are referring to, since Victoria itself is halfway to Corpus :)

    Lily if you look at your holds online, it will show you what all is preventing you from registering. Like UTHSC-hopeful said, my account shows that all I need to take care of is my immunization records. I just got my varicella titer back (high immuni...
