1. APRN roles with limited continuity of care?

   Nguyenchester posted a topic in Advanced

   Working over the years, I've come to find out that I don't particularly like having a long term patient relationship and that I'm brief in terms of conversation with my patients. Several others have mentioned to me that I would suit as an ICU or ER n...

2. Time off after NP school?

   Nguyenchester posted a topic in NP Students

   I'm looking to graduate from NP school by the end of 2015 and I was curious as to what exactly was everyone's input on taking time off or traveling for an extended period of time after graduation. There were quite a few topics on the new grad job mar...

3. Anyone got accepted to the FNP program at UTHealth at Houston Fall 2014 yet?

   Nguyenchester replied to kyonguyen22's topic in NP Students

   A classmate of mine in the patho course when we were taking it as non-degree seeking students got her acceptance last week without the interview. Still waiting for an answer on my end. People I knew who were in the AGNP or Leadership routes were alre...

4. Male Nurse Hair Styles

   Nguyenchester replied to Benners's topic in Men

   I actually had a faux hawk for my first few months of employment. Got too many comments from my coworkers and patients with how it looked so I just ended up getting it clean cut and combed over. Nothing from management though, they were okay with it.

5. Regarding nursing students- was this too much to ask?

   Nguyenchester replied to blondy2061h's topic in Relations

   To be honest I could either see my classmates either being irritated or happy that their preceptor was going above and beyond in terms of learning experiences. While I was in my high acuity clinicals, my preceptor actually made me do a care plan for ...

6. Houston Schools (fast track to RN)

   Nguyenchester replied to kmwinship's topic in Texas

   My friend who now got in his second semester at UTHSC-H was actually offered a position for the accelerated program but chose to continue on with the traditional track that started in the Fall. Apparently not enough people applied to commit towards s...

7. Quality between Littmann models that big of a difference?

   Nguyenchester posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I'll be receiving a stethoscope for my grad present and I was curious as to whether or not there is a big difference between the higher end models, specifically those within the $150 to $300 price range. It's just a med-surg related floor I'll be on ...

8. Accepted! Now what?

   Nguyenchester replied to mmills63's topic in Male Students

   Learn how to calm down and just take things a step at a time. It's not as serious as people make it out to be sometimes. You can still have some sort of social life and get the grades you need. About to be finished with the program and I realized tha...

9. UTHSC-Houston Spring 2013

   Nguyenchester replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas

   Randomly stumbled upon this while trying to find some info on some grad schools. I got in a year ago with 6 drops and the selection process seemed pretty random. All sorts of various demographics and ranges for scores. Don't fret too much and just gi...

10. UTHSC-Houston Fall 2012 Applicants

    Nguyenchester replied to KRR2009's topic in Texas

    It was around very early March that I found out I got accepted through UTLink and around a few weeks later that the letter came in. This might be the last semester yall will be able to find out early though, UTLink is being phased out for something m...

11. Hey guys! Post what you are going to do right after you graduate. I'll start.

    Nguyenchester replied to ThePhilster's topic in Male Students

    I want to make sure I can even make it through the next semester first haha! I was told to take it one day at a time when I first got in, finding a job can wait, just gotta make sure I pass everything first!

12. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    Nguyenchester replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas

    As long as the pharm or patho class is an upper level class, UT will accept them as transfer credit. Also keep in mind the school doesn't really matter in the end, what matters is your license. GPA and who you know will be the only factors deciding w...

13. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    Nguyenchester replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas

    They offered the pell grants and subsidized and unsubsidized loans. The scholarship application you will have to fill out on the side, and from what I know some students have gotten offers or so sent to the mail over time if the scholarship is releva...

14. men in NS

    Nguyenchester replied to JonB04's topic in Male Students

    There were way more guys than I actually expected to see at orientation. Quite a few younger guys also so I won't feel so out of place. Gotta figure out how to gently turn down people that are hitting on me, really want to focus on school first over ...

15. Hardest Prerequisite

    Nguyenchester replied to tiffjh2's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It was A&P I for me. The fact that I didn't really have the capability to mass memorize many parts of the body in a short amount of time really dealt a blow to me during the lab portions. A&P II was much easier because it felt like there was ...
