   mwski replied to oscarandmax's topic in NCLEX

   Update: I went to BoN website, still no license for me. Then I went to Pearsonvue and it FINALLY said my results were available and...I PASSED! Whew! I don't have an explanation as to why my results were delayed but I did have two "incidents" duri...

2. What does this mean??

   mwski replied to oscarandmax's topic in NCLEX

   My results are also on "hold" and I am going crazy! A whole bunch of people who took the test the same day I did had their licenses posted on the BoN website at 9 am this morning. I can't decide if I want to or

3. Not a real nurse?

   mwski replied to Iris34's topic in Psychiatric

   I started as a tech in a psych hospital while in nursing school, with every intention of going into perinatal when I was through with school. I graduated last week and accepted a job at the psych hospital on the very same day. I had many people tel...

   Stethoscope and white shoes (yes, all white and I suggest leather). Once I got my acceptance into the program, I started buying my Level 1 books one at a time. I ordered off Amazon and bought used when I could. But, believe it or not, the Lewis Med...

   mwski replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas

   I didn't get anything in the mail. Email was the way they let us all know. And yes, they changed the status on the ADN website to something along the lines of "Letters of acceptance have been sent."

   mwski replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas

   From my expierence last year, we were told that we would have our emailed letters by May 1st. Then they bumped it to May 7th. And at about 4:45 on May 7th the emails went out for the acceptance and at a few minutes after 5 the rejection letters went...

8. Austin Community College (ACC) - Fall 2010 Hopefuls

   mwski replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas

   I had personal experience with one of the EVC instructors and didn't think I could withstand an entire semester of that again. Also, since I take the bus, getting to the EVC was also more complicated for me. If I had been placed at EVC, I would hav...

   mwski replied to GeekGirl's topic in Texas

   CEC doesn't have the same lecture schedule as EVC. I met a couple of students from EVC during my mental health rotation and it seems like our lectures made a little more sense...like we learned acid base balance before we talked about specific illne...

    RadiationRN2Be - I don't know what you heard about CEC but that is where I go and I love it! I' currently in Level 2 and even though I thought I wanted the hybrid program, I am glad, glad, glad that I got placed at CEC. I've had some great teachers ...

11. Made it through the first week of nursing school

    mwski replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    We had to take Pharmacology as a pre-requisite to get into the program. So they assume that we already know the material. It was only over dosage calculations, nothing about specific drugs...thank goodness!

    I, too, just finished my first week. Lecture on Monday and Tuesday with a dosage calculation test first thing Tuesday morning. Lab on Wednesday and Thursday to practice Physical Assessments, with a check off for vital signs on Thursday. And then a ...

    RaditionNurse2be and Purkinje~ I just started the ADN program this week and the classes you take in the Spring semester do not count in your Fall application. For example, this year the Fall 2009 application period was from the beginning of January ...

    I am taking speech, too. But not online. I looked up my professor on ratemyprofessor.com and he had horrible reviews so I dropped the online class and am taking a short semester M/W night class (filled with HS kids!). You are right though; it is ha...
