   lexcourben replied to tanny209's topic in NCLEX

   I took the NCLEX yesterday and it shut off at 75 questions. The waiting is killing me. I got quite a few SATA (select all that apply) and alot of priority questions. I had one math question that I'm not sure if I got right or not. I just want to ...

4. Internship/residency search for new grad

   lexcourben replied to jogimada's topic in Texas

   What area are you interested in? They have several speciality areas open so I think it depends on where you want to go. Some positions have been filled and others they're still doing interviews. They usually do a phone interview first to see where...

   Hi Sandy, If it's financially feasible I would only work part time at the most. Even that was difficult for me to do though. I worked 2 days a week at the beginning of the program but had to take a leave of absence for the last two semesters. It's...

6. All nurses: Social work or RN?

   lexcourben replied to yuyu75's topic in General Nursing

   I have a Bachelor's in Social Work and have gone back to school to get my ADN. I have found there are more opportunities as an RN than as a social worker. While there are some good social work jobs some of them require a Master's in Social Work. ...

   I'll send out prayers and passing vibes your way that day. Have you started your internship yet? You were going to Our Childrens' House at Baylor, right?

   No definite numbers but it was between 100 and 150 applicants for the Summer '07. I was talking to the secretary the other day and she said there were around 230 applicants this time around. I had heard there were around 400 applications but Ann sa...

   The admission process has changed so the number of points for our class may not really help you but I believe it was 14 points. The top 60 students were selected for interviews then the faculty selected 40 students based on those interviews. I bel...

10. Best Nursing Book Bag

    lexcourben replied to Linz8's topic in General Students

    I started out with a backpack but then we started using more of our books during lecture and skills class. I ended up getting a rolling scrapbook tote. It has lots of pockets and I can adjust the dividers inside as needed. The bonus was getting it...

11. Drop-out percnetage

    lexcourben replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I think you're right on Gauge. Some volunteer experience in a hospital or having to become a CNA would give potential students a chance to see if they were really cut out for nursing. This is especially true since nurses need to have skills like pa...

    lexcourben replied to iheartnurses's topic in Texas

    I started out as a volunteer at the hospital I'm at and eventually was able to get a FT position as a unit secretary. I didn't have any other hospital experience but it helped me get my foot in the door. I only had to do it once a week for 4 hours....
