   Denners916 Can I ask what your GPA was? I'm debating whether not I should try for the next start date. I was told not to even bother without a 4.0 but I was hoping my 3.7 would be enough. oh and congratulations!

   I received my rejection email (FNP program) today. Bummer, but I know that it just wasn't meant to be right now. Good luck to everyone else!

5. Getting burnt out with non urgent patients

   mcnini77 replied to Lisa9090's topic in Emergency

   Baylor Health Care System in the Dallas/Fort Worth, TX area does! I've also heard THR hospitals do, as well, but I've never applied there so not really sure. Children's Medical in Dallas does...at least, when I did clinicals there I talked to sever...

   This is a very intense program. I am in my Senior 1 semester, and graduate in May 2012. I was an A student, with a 4.0 before I started taking the nursing classes, not anymore! I also have a baby, though, who was only 3 months old when I started t...

   I took online chem at TCC NE campus. I took ******, but I heard ***** is also great. You do have to go in one day a week for the lab. I made an A, and not because she was easy, I made it because she is an incredible teacher who is really good at e...

    Students working for partner hospitals get in first, then everyone else. It just depends on how many qualified applicants there are in the hospital system. If your grades are very good, it is possible you might not get picked right away, but go on ...

    Have any of you who applied for the Spring 2011 start have gotten any confirmation that your application was received? I emailed my advisor a couple of weeks ago, and she just said that when they get them processed I will get an email confirming rec...

13. I can't handle it when kittens die...how can I be a nurse?

    mcnini77 replied to cherubhipster's topic in General Nursing

    I am a former animal control officer who is now studying to become a nurse. I left the animal control field because I couldn't handle all the suffering, pain, and death/euthanasia of the animals. However, I think I will be a good nurse. It's not t...
