1. Interested in Becoming a Navy Nurse, Many Questions!

   taylorxteddy posted a topic in Government

   Hello everyone! I've been piddling on these forums for a few months now reading varying bits of advice, pros/cons of becoming a navy nurse, competitiveness of getting in, etc, but I still have a few unanswered questions that I'd like to post here. I'...

   Update: Passed my first semester with Bs, now halfway through my second semester with all As. Rocking it, and loving every minute of my clinicals! Much more satisfied with my abilities and competence level now! :)

3. UTHSC-Houston Fall 2012 Applicants

   taylorxteddy replied to KRR2009's topic in Texas

   Congrats to everyone that has been accepted! I am almost done with my first semester... It's been a little intense, but I'm still making it. Can't wait to welcome you all! :) We have a FB group that helped us tremendously prior to being accepted, and...

4. In need of some encouragement before I give up!

   taylorxteddy replied to taylorxteddy's topic in General Students

   First, I am going to address that I made the comment about staying in Houston not because I thought nursing school somewhere else would be easier, because that isn't what I want or expected at all, but because I felt I should have given myself a chan...

   taylorxteddy replied to taylorxteddy's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the responses everyone! They were greatly appreciated. :) All the wear and tear got me sick now and I have acute bronchitis... I just need this semester to be over so I can rejuvenate myself. I just didn't prepare myself well enough for nu...

6. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

   taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas

   We had 90 at the start of the semester according to our instructors, but our clinical instructor is saying they are being told to prepare for 104 for the upcoming semester. As heavykey said, I believe we're down to about 81 now. You guys can get thro...

7. In need of some encouragement before I give up!

   taylorxteddy posted a topic in General Students

   Hello everyone! I'm roughly two months short of finishing my first semester of nursing school. I'm attending UTHealth in Houston, TX and am currently enrolled in Health Assessment, Pharmacology, Pathophysiology, and Adult Care 1 (fundamentals and med...

8. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

   taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas

   I think they took their stack of applications, and rather than organize them by score, just simply picked the first 80 they came to that met the criteria they were looking for. IE, if the first person they came to was 88% on HESI and 3.5 gpa, and the...

9. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

   taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas

   I just wanted to clarify to everyone now that I'm in the program in case anyone gets back on and reads this forum.. 1. There was no race card (or gender card) for acceptance. There are Hispanics (my roommate), African Americans, Asians, etc and a ha...

10. twu spring 2012 applicants!

    taylorxteddy replied to saraiish's topic in Texas

    @L8Blumer... No I haven't, and it is driving me absolutely insane. I feel so silly with this first world problem! lol I have never had to make a decision this big, and now my family and friends are getting involved and chanting UT in my ear! haha I a...

11. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas

    Hey everyone! Do yourselves a big favor and don't give up until it is all said and done. UT had 850 applicants, and (as we know) a very lengthy acceptance process. It is only natural that they wouldn't accept everyone in one day. Most of us sat aroun...

12. twu spring 2012 applicants!

    taylorxteddy replied to saraiish's topic in Texas

    I will fix the typo! Sorry! Made the group at 2am.. lol Also, I have it as spring 2012 because that is when we start/applied for, but yes, we graduate in fall 2013. Ohhh btw, we're up to 28 people in the FB group! That's almost a third of the class! ...

13. twu spring 2012 applicants!

    taylorxteddy replied to saraiish's topic in Texas

    The group is called, word for word: Texas Women's University College of Nursing - Houston Center - Spring 2012 Just for the record, it's a group and not a page. You have to request to join, and can't just "like" it. If you still can't find it, PM me ...

14. UTHSC (Houston) Spring

    taylorxteddy replied to katybusymom's topic in Texas

    @grace928 she wasn't very reassuring, honestly. She said that her TWU friends all have higher GPAs than anyone she knows at UT, and that TWU students with higher GPAs appear to get hired before UT students with lower GPAs, because that is a big facto...

15. twu spring 2012 applicants!

    taylorxteddy replied to saraiish's topic in Texas

    See that's what I want to know! UT gives their students the options to rank their hospital and clinical days by preference. I am wondering if TWU gives us this flexibility, because that is a GIANT plus! @Darcy I added my friend's sister on FB last n...
