  1. UTHSC Summer 2015 Application

    I *might* be applying to the Summer 2015 program. I'm not 100% sure. I'm also applying to the UT AE MSN, so I'm still trying to decide if I'll be applying to the UTHSC Program... I have a bachelor's in psych and am already in Austin, so hoping to get...
  2. I think that this is definitely a good starting point, but you are doing a lot of "telling" and not enough "showing". Show the events that made you want to become a nurse, get descriptive. Remember that they read like 8 bajillion essays and you don't...
  3. 2nd Degree BSN / career changer

    I'm in Texas, you should take a look at the TTUHSC 12 month online program... it's 12 months and distance. You need a CNA certification and a few unique pre-reqs (pathophysiology to be specific)... but that might be your best option. Additionally, yo...
  4. This is TOTALLY doable. It sounds like you are a pretty strong student as is, so I think you can handle it. I took literally the most (unnecessarily) difficult anatomy class EVER along with 2 govt classes this past semester.... all while working 40 h...
  5. Pre-Nursing MOMS Unite!

    Welcome to allnurses and out of lurkdom :) I'm 23 - mama to a 2.5 year old girl and a little man on the way in July. I was planning on applying to a bunch of accelerated BSN programs for the summer of next year, but I can take less pre-reqs through t...
  6. UT Houston - Spring 2015 Accelerated

    MissKAL, when you say "MSN not being accepted" toward becoming an NP, what do you mean? Do you just mean that the MSN at UT doesn't have a pathway for NP or that other universities are not accepting it?
  7. Almost bombed first exam..

    Your*
  8. Almost bombed first exam..

    I hope you open a book in A&P regardless of what you're teacher is doing in class.... That being said, for every class, when you get the syllabus, read it twice. Mark down any dates in your planners. Triple check them against the syllabus and mak...
  9. Anatomy and Physiology Online

    The important thing to distinguish here is whether or not the lab is online. To me, it sounds like you're looking for a class with the lecture and lab online. I would sincerely advise against this. Though it won't necessarily say "online distance cou...
  10. Should I take chemistry and general psych?

    I have a BA in psych, so I'm biased.... but I think psychology classes make you a more rounded person and more capable to put yourself in someone else's shoes. Being able to look outside of yourself and understand that others often perceive things di...
  11. HESI-A2 without taking Physiology?

    The Risk is my application is due on August 15th and I don't know if I'll be able to get into a physiology class over the summer (we have silly rules at my college where you can't take micro or physio without having first completed anatomy) much less...
  12. HESI-A2 without taking Physiology?

    For those of you who have taken the Hesi A-2, do you think that having taken anatomy without the physiology, that you could do well? My whole thought is that it is physically impossible to not learn physiology when taking anatomy because the function...
  13. 18 Credit Hours + Working?!

    I think you should listen to your parents. You're taking a lot of classes that require memorizing small details which can take some time to really memorize.. If you have a good work ethic, it can certainly be done... but it's not optimal. If your par...
  14. MacBook vs. Chromebook

    Dranger, It's no use arguing after a certain point lol... I've tried, A lot of people are buying it for the name. I work for a competitor of Apple (just being honest about my opinions because that's what our company asks us to do when we engage in d...
  15. MacBook vs. Chromebook

    The major problem with Chromebooks is that you absolutely have to have some type of internet access to access your documents. all storage is in the cloud on these, which is great because it doesn't not down your computer.... Except that this means yo...
