   ENP-wanna-be replied to Future_RN_Kamaria's topic in Texas

   I was going to apply for Cy-Fair's ADN program last year, but found out that they were/are not accredited yet. I agree with everyone above, just dive into Prarieview and get it all done at one school. Good luck!

2. Are your fellow classmates really serious about nursing?

   ENP-wanna-be replied to jaysma's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I'm in nursing school right now and have a couple words of advice, especially after reading all of this thread. (I just finished a test and have a little break!) In no way do I want to degrade everyone's hard work ethic and great study habits, but "g...

3. How do you ace nursing school tests when you have anxiety

   ENP-wanna-be replied to salford39047's topic in General Students

   The best advice that I've been given so far has been: -take 10 deep breaths before taking the test, it's supposed to decrease adrenaline levels and calm anxiety. -Close your eyes and say a quick prayer. I've done this everytime and I haven't failed a...

   ENP-wanna-be replied to nikkif's topic in General Students

   I'm glad to hear that I'm not the only one with a bad past! However, my horrible first year of college, back in 2000, has become a major motivator as I begin nursing school! I had way too much fun my first year and the fun didn't include classes or h...

6. Now I am really questioning nursing

   ENP-wanna-be replied to socalirn's topic in General Nursing

   I'm about to start nursing school and went through a pre-orientation program that completely changed the way I thought about nursing. During lecture, the professor defined a nurse as "a patient's first line of defense." I don't know about you, but th...

   Hey Lene, I'll start at UT in August and did all of my pre-reqs at Cy-Fair College. UT doesn't require you to have all pre-reqs done before applying, but you must have them all completed before you begin classes. UT is extremely competitive, so do yo...

    ENP-wanna-be replied to Princess74's topic in General Students
