   aggie2005 replied to lavitabella2's topic in General Students

   Like the person above said, definitely look around your area to see what the hiring trends are. I know where I am BSN's are practically required for most of the big hospitals (at least as a new grad), especially for specialty units. ADN's can find j...

   I can't believe we start in just two weeks. I'm getting a bit nervous, but I'm also really excited to finally start the program! I wanted to mention something that might help some of you who just finished up some prereqs and are trying to get transc...

5. UTMB BACC2 Spring 2011

   aggie2005 replied to CLaker's topic in Texas

   I'm not sure if that is correct or not. I know the immunization form we have to fill out says Hep B full series, so I'd guess they'd want all three. Maybe you could call the School of Nursing and ask? Worse case, the accelerated series should get eve...

   Hey, about textbooks, be sure you keep your receipts for anything you buy from the UTMB bookstore. Every April, if you give them your receipts, you'll get around 20% back for anything you buy (books, scrubs, t-shirts etc..). You might be able to get ...

8. Spring 2011 UT Health Sciences Nursing Hopefuls

   aggie2005 replied to jones0651's topic in Texas

   All the programs I looked at allow second degree students to apply for traditional programs, so it's not just UT. Also, nursing is a career that people in all phases of life want to pursue. You'll find people who got all of their prereqs at their loc...

   aggie2005 posted a topic in Texas

   Does anyone know of an affordable way to get titers pulled for some of the Immunizations needed for nursing school like MMR or Hep B? I've called various clinics (included community/public health clinics) and either they don't offer that service or t...

    Well, I've been out of town the last few days and haven't been able to check the mail to see if I got accepted. I just logged onto Econnect and got a message telling me I was accepted!! If anyone hasn't gotten a letter yet and you interviewed on the...

    aggie2005 replied to chensiqi's topic in Texas

    I'm sure everything has to be triple checked and approved too so I'm sure it isn't that quick to get those emails out. It's just that the person go interviewed me made it seem like emails would be sent before we get letters. Either way, I just want...

    I thought they were sending an email. If letters were mailed Friday and yesterday, you would figure an email would've been sent by now.

    I'm not in the Bacc2 program, but I wanted to mention something about apartments. If you don't want to live on the island and are looking at the Clear Lake area, there is always Friendswood. There are some good apartments west of I45 starting at FM 2...
