2. Support stockings or knee-high support socks?

   Cat in TX replied to SeattleU08's topic in General Nursing

   I was glad to see this post; I was wondering the same thing SeattleU08, thanks for starting the thread! A couple of follow-up questions: How do you know what the "right size" is of knee-highs? I assume the package gives guidelines, but is there anyt...

3. I'm FINALLY doing it

   Cat in TX replied to mama0306's topic in Texas

   Good luck! I'm quitting my job of 6 years to go back and get a BSN, starting this summer, so I can definitely empathize with your anxiety. For what it's worth, I think making the decision to start taking the prereq's was the hardest part (thus far,...

4. Hybrid or Partial Week Nursing Programs in Texas

   Cat in TX replied to bcskittlez's topic in Texas

   Hi, I'm in Dallas and I'm positive that there is a weekend LVN program around here somewhere, because I have a coworker that is currently in it. It isn't one of the junior colleges, it's at one of those career training institute type places. Sorry ...

5. Best TCC teachers?

   Cat in TX replied to O2BNRN's topic in Texas

   I took A&P (the second time around!) at the south campus a few years ago. I'm sorry, I don't recall the teacher's name anymore, but I do remember she was a veterinarian. She was hilarious in class, graded fairly, and I enjoyed lab with her. Ho...

   Thank you so much, everyone, for all of this advice and info. I start nursing school this summer. It is so much easier to handle difficult situations when you "know it is coming" and can already have a strategy in mind.

7. Need encouragement and advice

   Cat in TX replied to nurse2b2010's topic in General Students

   Hey there, nurse2b. I know it is easier said than done, but try to not let your mind psych you out of a good grade. The first time I took A&P, it was at a school that didn't have I and II; they did it ALL in one semester. With a lot of detail....

   Cat in TX replied to Gator Girl 2000's topic in Texas

   I'm starting the TCU program in a couple of months. :) I'm in a World Religions course now, and I agree with Purple Scrubs, I'm actually enjoying it. Far more interesting than a Texas history or government class! (IMO, anyways.) Here is the website...

    Be sure and check some of the large online discount sites, like Amazon and Overstock, too. They have quite a few of the popular nursing titles.

    CONGRATS, HOLLY!!! Dang it, this is the disadvantage of mail that comes late in the day. (Usually around FOUR - how am I going to make it that long?!) Excuse me while my dog and I locate the postman and chase him down the street... (I'll take the ...

    Did you talk to TCU's financial aid department? Most private universities have very good ones (or so I've heard, anyways), since very few students can afford to pay full tuition out-of-pocket. They should be able to help you find scholarships/loans/...

    Cat in TX replied to Cat in TX's topic in Texas

    I'm worried about that, too, I'll be quitting my job as a financial analyst, so our income will be cut in half... I did just call TCU's nursing department. They confirmed that acceptance letters will go out "in the next week or two." GOOD LUCK! It...
