   Ooh parking is atrocious. There are two remote TMC lots you can use, the Smithlands and Brown lots. They run 6 bucks a day or 66 a month for a contract. You do get to ride TMC white for free, so you can get dropped off right at the corner of Bertner...

   I have decided! I found that my passion is acute care nursing, so ICU is my first choice. There is something about all of the drips and sounds of the vents and alarms that is strangely calming. It's chaos at times but, organized chaos. Humm...things...

   You are very welcome! I am so glad it worked out for you! I'm really nervous about commuting to Houston for the UTHSC program but, it's only 15 months! Is the CC program 15 months too? Also, are your clinicals at the Med?

   I'm 06 too! I asked because I'm going to commute from CS (nuts, I know!) but there are some people looking for roomates too. I'm not sure if they added it to your email, but along with your letter of intent you will need to send in a $50 registration...

    I did too! Does anyone else feel overwhelmed about the parking situation? I am not familiar with the area, so I have no idea what the best thing to do about parking is.

    I bet we get them early next week. I think there are some Houston area hospitals who do the CPR course for free. You just have to find them.
