  1. I want to become a CRNA

    Just one minor clarification. You do have to have a bachelors, but it doesn't have to be in nursing as long as you are a RN. Graceful
  2. Confused about candidate report

    Hmmmmmm. I have been told that the results are not stored, and you can't get an item analysis of your test. Wonder if this is really from your NCLEX, although I can't imaging what else it could be. Graceful
  3. best nursing program in TX?

    Well, I am biased because I go to UT-Houston and I went to UT-Austin for a previous degree, but I say "hook-em". In 2004 US news and world report rated us in the top 10% of "graduate schools" for nursing, but for undergrad we were rated above all th...
  4. FNP to CRNA

    Hmmmmm... Meandragonbrett, that tidbit sparked my curiosity. Do you know if that is a commonly used option? What exactly would be the advantage of going the ACNP-->CRNA route, as opposed to the direct route? Graceful
  5. freaking out for UT Tyler's admission....help!

    Yes, I think that you have a good chance of at least getting an interview at UT-Tyler. Graceful
  6. freaking out for UT Tyler's admission....help!

    Hi Nev, Well I am a senior UT-Houston and when I applied had both A&P's, Pschy of human development, Biostatistics, and a Humanities class lacking and I got in without a problem. Personally, I believe that they give more weight to your GPA. ...
  7. I don't know if nursing is for me anymore...

    Friedrich Nietzsche said that, and I agree
  8. I don't know if nursing is for me anymore...

    Well said mysterybe. Heymickey, I think you are working under a false conception. The letters RN after your name don't mean that you now know everything there is to know about nursing and therefore any mistake you make is a sign that you are an i...
  9. Should BSNs be paid more?

    Well said.
  10. School Retention Rates

    :uhoh21: I just did a quick evaluation of my schools retention rate and I found that we lost 12% of our class and this is only the beginning of our second semester. Is this normal for a BSN program? I realize that the program only gets harder fr...
  11. Hi Everyone! I have been feeling so bad for all of those poor people in Florida, but I just don't know what I can do to help. Are any of your schools sponsoring food/clothing/supply drives? If they are how are they going, and how would I start s...
  12. Frustrated w/ 2 year old. Just venting.

    All of the suggestions so far have been excellent and I'll add what I do to tame the beast inside all of us mothers that makes you feel guilty for not enriching your childrens lives 24 hours a day: 1. I think you will be surprised to see what just t...
  13. First Day/First Week of Nursing School. How Did it Go?

    I have heard that nursing texts are usually out of date within 5-6 years so keeping them for reference would probably not do any good. Just FYI Graceful
  14. A&P question

    The biggest headache I had was memorizing all of the muscles on the cat we disected. They all look alike and as if that wasn't bad enough they usually have names that you haven't heard of before. The only consolation is that after having learned the...
  15. I Hate Statistics!!!!

    Sorry it took me so long to get back to this thread, but I was studying for my final in.......you guessed it Statistics. Ya'll are wonderful. I was beginning to feel like a total loser for not "getting it" It really does help to have people to comm...
