  1. Help! PICU interview and no experience

    Thank you so much for your response! I think I'm more worried about the clinical part of the interview, so I definitely need to review a bunch of stuff :/
  2. Help! PICU interview and no experience

    Hi there! I've been a nurse for a little over three years but only have 10 months of experience (adult telemetry/IMC). I quit my telemetry job in January 2015 and haven't worked since then due to family reasons. My ideal job is in the NICU but after ...
  3. Texas Children's PICU New Grad

    May I ask you how was the interview? I'm not a new grad but only have 10 months experience (telemetry - and adults!) and I've been out of work for 2 years. Today I got a call for a PICU interview at Texas Children's west campus and I'm super nervous...
  4. I applied to Cy-Fair a year ago (Spring 2012) and was wait listed (with a score of 11.47) but accepted a month later :)
  5. Lonestar Spring 2012 Hopefuls

    I applied to Cy-Fair for Spring 12 with an 11.47 and was an alternate. They eventually acepted me 2 months before the start date. I guess the lower score for acceptance during that session was an 11.5
  6. How many people in your class?

    My program accepts 50 people but they split us for lecture so 25 people go to the morning session and the other 25 to the afternoon session. 10 people in each clinical group mixing people from the morning and afternoon session.
  7. Need help deciding classes for next semester!!

    I would take A&P 1, Psychology, and English together... but if you're not working full time and don't have many responsibilities at home, I think you could also try taking Micro as well. It can be doable if you have the right instructors and the ...
  8. What classes did you pair with A&P I (Anatomy)?

    I took it with English 1, Psychology, a PE class, and a beginner piano class :). It was very doable and I got an A in all of them. For me A&P 2 was more difficult, but also more interesting than A&P 1.
  9. Finals week!

    I took my Med Surg 2 final today. I needed at least a 66 to get a B in the class or a 100 to get an A lol.. ended up getting an 87.5 and am very happy about that. Had to take also my Mid Term Hesi and got a 947 / 84% which my teacher says is a really...
  10. What 2 science classes would you take?

    A&P II and Micro. I didn't take them together cause I was scared lol, and decided to take A&P with a bunch of other gen ed classes. Then when I took Micro the following semester I noticed I could have taken them together without complications...
  11. Winter Break

    I'll spend my time sleeping and studying for the government class I'll be taking during the minimester. I'm about to finish my 3rd semester of NS and I'm so tired I wish I could spend my Christmas break relaxing, sleeping, and having fun... but my go...
  12. Hybrid Nursing School?

    Well in that case I understand your concern, but I think that even if you get to spend several hours in lab every week, you still feel insecure every time you go to the hospital and try to do those skills on your pt. I'm in my 3rd semester and I stil...
  13. Hybrid Nursing School?

    So do you have 10 hours of lab (practice) and just 1 hour to be signed off every other week or do you only get 1 hour every other week to practice and be signed off by your instructor? If it is the second one then I agree... that's nothing and it's ...
  14. How long after transfer does it take to complete a BSN?

    BSN usually takes 2 years to complete... the amount of time you spend in the community college taking your pre-reqs depends on how many credits you can take each semester and how many pre reqs you have to take before being able to apply to the nursin...
  15. What classes are you taking in spring

    Next semester will be my 4th semester of Nursing school (I'm so tired! lol, but so happy I'm getting close to graduation :)) I'll be taking the specialties: Mental health OB Pediatrics Total: 11 credits And I will probably also take a gen ed class (...
