1. I Need Help Really Bad!!!!!

   A lot of times the book will have online material with practice questions and explanations. Sometimes you have to pay for it but it's been worth the extra cost for me. Practice practice practice!

   Veganmom replied to jones0651's topic in Texas

   The lab times are assigned without any requests from the students. You'll get to let them know your preferences for clinical days and times, and the instructor will consider them when making placements. Most people were happy with their clinical plac...

   Veganmom replied to jones0651's topic in Texas

   They will not run out of room in the classes. They have spots in all of the classes for everyone who is accepted. They usually don't have the class times figured out at this point. We didn't find out the times for all of our classes until orientatio...

   Veganmom replied to jones0651's topic in Texas

   I've used all but the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association so far this semester. If you have to cut back, a lot of people don't read their Pharm book, and many dont use the big Porth book for Pathology but prefer the smaller p...

   You don't get to pick your classes. Everyone has the same schedule (except for some labs), so it doesn't matter if you do early registration or register on the last day.

   I'm in the program now. If you have extra time on your hands, review A&P. If you know it really well, you'll have a much easier time in your classes.

8. Academic Fresh Start and BSN Programs

   Veganmom replied to TXJeepGirl's topic in Texas

   I applied to two BSN programs using Fresh Start. The only issue you may have is that if you choose to go that route none of your classes from over ten years ago count. I'm not sure how that would work for you since you have a degree. One school requi...

   The only math class I took is Statistics and I am core complete. You should check with your school for their requirements.

10. what do you need to really get into UT Houston BSN program?

    Veganmom replied to cbank's topic in Texas

    There really isn't a good answer to that question. I've gone through the threads from the last few semesters and written down the stats of people who were accepted and found a wide range of grades, test scores, and experience. Some people with GPA's ...

15. Is it possible to be a fit nurse?

    Veganmom replied to Crystal112's topic in Stress 101

    My husband's aunt is a nurse and one of the most fit people I know. She participated in the Iron Man Triathlon in Hawaii when she was in her 50's. It's possible to be a fit nurse if you make it one of your priorities.
