1. having a boyfriend vs. nursing studies

   TWUgrad replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

   I'm glad I didn't have the "opinion" that men "must" make more money than the woman. When I met my husband, he wasn't making much money at all. He did have a college education, however, and most importantly...incredible drive, work ethic, and ambit...

3. Prove my Mom wrong, please

   TWUgrad replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

   I did it (unplanned pregnancy, already had one child) and graduated with a 4.0 after sitting out a semester in a regular (not accelerated) program. Would I recommend it? Absolutely not. Very stressful, and made it difficult to give my new baby the ...

5. School secretary administring meds???

   TWUgrad replied to Simply Complicated's topic in General Nursing

8. Career Change

   TWUgrad replied to RedRage00's topic in General Nursing

   RedRage, Doesn't UT Austin have a program where you go straight for a MSN if you have a previous degree? I have a BS from UT and when I decided to go back to school for a nursing degree, I really wished I could have done the MSN program because it w...

9. in rn refresher course now

   TWUgrad replied to tashby40's topic in Retired

   I appreciate that so much! Yes, I found PHES and they will be doing the refresher course in my town in March. I was a little surprised at the cost, though. Is $1500 pretty much the going rate for a refresher? Thanks again for your help!

10. in rn refresher course now

    TWUgrad replied to tashby40's topic in Retired

    Sally, I have looked all over that site and I cannot find a list of approved refresher courses! I see a list for AD programs, BS programs and such, but no RN refresher courses. Am I blind or just stupid?! Do you have a link? I live in Dallas if anyon...
