   shepherdgirl replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Miz - thanks for your advice! I am taking my prereqs at community college as well (Lonestar) and they're pretty good and easy to deal with. I'm curious as to your reasoning on the advanced practice nursing. I had understood that the UT program did no...

2. Best Texas Nursing Schools

   shepherdgirl replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm not sure. I'm looking at a lot of different programs. I've even considered direct-entry masters, as I said, but I don't think its for me. I've looked a lot at UT School of Nursing in Houston, but it occurred to me that I have no idea how employer...

   shepherdgirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hi, I am going to start my prereqs for a bsn program, as well as complete my (unrelated) degree. I was trying to look into which schools are considered the best. I was able to determine that UT-Austin was the best (I think), but it doesn't seem to be...

5. Homework Help!! urgent

   shepherdgirl replied to Rimzy's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I agree - I would also add that if she's dating a guy, it's probably not necessary to tell him on the first date, but I wouldn't let it get past three dates or so. That way the guy has had a chance to get to know her, its am ore appropriate time to s...

6. ? about prerequisites

   shepherdgirl replied to cjslady's topic in Pre-Nursing

   At UT School of Nursing (Houston), they require you to complete 40/60 hours before applying, and to complete all before you start. However, you had to have like half of the science requirements completed, I think. Look into it - there are also school...

   shepherdgirl replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

   SilentMind - you seem to be really good at sensing what are the issues at hand (and seeing where he's coming from - are you Mexican??? I just don't usually get this type of reaction). The problem I have is, I'm not really sure what nursing entails! I...

   Elvish - thanks for sharing! I know its really hard for people here to understand the issues present in a Mexican-American relationship, because we do tend to see a lot of those things very differently. I'm pretty used to the - what the heck is wrong...

10. Microbiology Totally Online at Ocean County College

    shepherdgirl replied to Jersey Nursing Girl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey! I'm from Texas, but I just wanted to ask you if you knew whether or not most nursing schools "look down" on online classes for science prerequesites. I'm planning on taking a lot of my non-science prereqs online, but I felt like I should take th...

    shepherdgirl replied to Lev_Lady's topic in Texas

    I wish you luck! I have looked at the TWU nursing program, but in Houston. I don't think I'll do a weekend program, though. Are there any other Texas nursing programs that you have looked at? I've looked at UT-Houston SoN, TWU, UTMB-Galveston, and UT...

12. trying to decide whether to pursue nursing - less than supportive boyfriend

    shepherdgirl replied to shepherdgirl's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Uh oh! I think I need to defend my man :imbar! SilentMind got it right, I think; he didn't forbid me from pursuing nursing with his hand raised to strike me - he just voiced some concerns and insecurities. I don't mean to be unappreciative of anyone'...

    Hi! I'm totally new here, and am still trying to decide whether to pursue nursing (RN). It really appeals to me (although I do have a few reservations) and I really get excited about it. My reservations are as follows: I haven't really taken science ...
