5. Grayson County Nursing Program

   TexasGirl24 replied to dcRn2b's topic in Texas

   They don't really care if you had to take sciences more than once. I would say if you have 25 or more points, you have a great chance of getting in. I had 28 when I was accepted in Fall of 08. You have to take into consideration that some of those ot...

6. grasyon county nursing program

   TexasGirl24 replied to dcRn2b's topic in General Students

   I had 27 pts when I applied and was accepted. I have heard in the past that they have taken as low as 22, but not sure how true that is. Hope that helps. Your Hesi grade will help you a lot. If you made A's in all of your pre-req sciences, then you s...

8. Care Plan Help - Is Anxiety r/t hallucinations appropriate to use?

   TexasGirl24 posted a topic in Student Assist

   I am working on a care plan for a 44 y/o client with down syndrome who came in with hallucinations. He has nothing else wrong with him. When he hallucinates, he is so afraid that he tries to "run away from the ghosts and cries hysterically. His B/P a...

9. Physical assessment question

   TexasGirl24 replied to ohyeahuh's topic in Student Assist

   We were just always told not to use "normal", even though I see nurses use it every day. As far as for while you are in school, I would stay away from that word. Our instructors like us to be specific. We use normoactive, hyperactive or hypoactive fo...

10. Maternity Test Question bothering me

    TexasGirl24 replied to Esther2007's topic in Student Assist

    Just so you know...you can administer Oxygen if it is an emergency situation, in which this one is. You will just inform the Dr. that you administered it and he will write the order afterward. No Dr. is going to disagree with your decision because it...

11. Don't wear gloves when doing vitals on post-partum mom

    TexasGirl24 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Our instructor told us that it is not necessary to wear gloves for VS, but it is completely a personal choice. I can understand where you are coming from when you said if something came up and you had to change a pad or something like that.

12. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    TexasGirl24 replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    That is definitely wrong in many ways. I would suggest to your friend that she should contact the Nursing Administrator or whoever is this instructor's supervisor. We had an instructor last semester who told one of my classmates that she wasn't smart...

13. 6 Rights or 5 Rights?

    TexasGirl24 replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    Yeah....our test question said something like "Which of the 6 rights is missing in this scenario?" It was a multiple choice. Seems pretty easy, but they tried to confuse us on a couple of them.

14. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    TexasGirl24 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Okay....first off..please stop interrupting the instructor to inform the class of your personal experiences. NOBODY CARES! Second....you DON'T know it ALL, so stop acting like you do. Lastly........Keep your opinions to yourself....we do, so you can ...

15. 6 Rights or 5 Rights?

    TexasGirl24 replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    It is 6....and yes it is a fairly new thing. Some schools may do that "10 rights" thing, but I guarantee the majority does 6.......and no you're not going to fail if you do 6. Education, Evaluation and Assessment are obvious! You should know that yo...
