1. Baylor Scott and White Grad Nurse Residency - Summer 2020

   klp2006 replied to AngelicaRN20's topic in Texas

   I was hired for the Summer 2020 BSWH (Temple) residency with an ADN. I did already have a BSN admission so I couldn't tell you if that impacted it or not. Temple pushed my residency start date from June to July. Fall Cohort opened applications toda...

2. Relocating from Louisiana to Texas after grad, SOS

   klp2006 replied to MadiC's topic in Texas

   Houston residency is indeed extremely competitive. Applications begin in Feb for the Summer start dates. You can still be hired as a new grad, without the residency, after you pass NCLEX and have your license. I would apply, though. They want BSN ove...

4. RN to BSN

   klp2006 replied to YouCanCallMeFrank's topic in General Students

   Unfortunately, it really is university specific. It's my biggest gripe about all of nursing education. There is no consistency from one school to another. Have you tried talking to your ASN college counselor? Many associate degree schools also have a...

5. Should I go through with nursing?

   klp2006 replied to Guest1118589's topic in General Students

   We had a student drop out 18 months into a 24-month program because as much as she kept trying to push on, it just wasn't for her. Nursing has an extremely high burn-out rate as it is. For those who aren't passionate about it, it's higher. The path t...

6. Lone Star Fall 2020

   klp2006 replied to TwinDaddy's topic in School Programs

   I am at Montgomery. "Enjoying" the immense personal growth and achievements reached, yes. I will say that I am incredibly grateful to be a part of this program and have wonderful classmates. I'm really proud of our class.

7. Lone Star Fall 2020

   klp2006 replied to TwinDaddy's topic in School Programs

   Depending on the deadlines, there may be an 8-week API available to take which would work for the fall application. I took it as a hybrid in Jan 2018 and applied a few days after grades posted. It will require hard work but it's doable. I decided Dec...

8. Commuting to clinicals from 1 hr away??

   klp2006 replied to nursingstudentwannabe's topic in General Students

   WOW! You have it easy! Yes, you are indeed a wimp ? My commute is anywhere from 1-2 hrs depending on traffic. Clinical is at 0600 and exams are at 0730. There are many days I'm out the door by 0400 so waking up at 0515 sounds wonderful. I haven't u...

9. ABSN VS ADN

   klp2006 replied to amas's topic in General Students

   Same here. B.S. Business Administration -> RN. Before quitting my job and figuring out if I would even go back to school I made a spreadsheet of admissions requirements, timelines, and the cost of program and life for the timeline required. I refr...

    I'll be in VB 5/30-6/6. You're not by any chance flying Southwest are you? Maybe we're on the same flight? Lol

    Montgomery gave us a take-home PRACTICE test during orientation to prepare for the actual dosage calculation exam. They will not teach you dosage calculations. That is on you to learn. It was a part of my pharm class which I took during the summer be...

    klp2006 replied to Nancyface23's topic in School Programs

    Things not in the lab pack I found useful: 1) A Schedule/Planner/Reminder system with redundencies to prevent missed assignments. The overwhelming reason I've heard from 2nd attempt students as for the reason that they failed was missed assignments ...

    klp2006 replied to Nancyface23's topic in School Programs

    You'll have to purchase a lab pack for skills lab which contains supplies by campus and program. At Montgomery we had a pen light, scissors, forceps, etc. as part of our bag. We did not need a BP cuff. You will need to purchase a steth. Most have a L...

    klp2006 replied to Nancyface23's topic in School Programs

    Yes. The lab course is a skills lab where you learn all of your physical nursing skills.

    Hey Y'all, Accionursingbook sent me a message about questions on here about Montgomery's Schedule. I'm in 2nd Semester at Montgomery. *Every year/semester changes happen. I can only speak for LSC-M* First 3 weeks of Fall were M-F 0800-1700 -The real...
