1. 4 years in a CC??!

   its.jess.duh replied to hereyee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I am in a BSN program and it took 2 years for pre-reqs and 2 years for the nursing portion. If you go full time for each semester, a BSN should only take 4 years. That's not to say that everyone does it that way, but you can't really say a BSN is a 5...

2. Where you go is where you work?

   its.jess.duh replied to ssharifi94's topic in ADN/BSN

   I think that is only case because you get comfortable when you are in school with the surroundings, and you are likely to be networking in your community when you are in clinicals. Also, some employers prefer that their employees be from the area bec...

3. Commute to another CC to gain residency points?

   its.jess.duh replied to SageFemmeReveur's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I say do it. Yes it is very inconvenient, but if you don't and then you do not get in, you are going to be kicking yourself in the rear. Another thought though: can you take an online class with that college? The CC I went to offered several classes ...

4. 4 years in a CC??!

   its.jess.duh replied to hereyee's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I was out of my CC in two years, but I did take 1 course each summer so that I would finish in time to turn in nursing school applications. Also, there were at least two semesters that I was doubled up on science classes. I took A&P 1 with Microb...

5. Cook Childrens 2014 Residency

   its.jess.duh replied to hdoty's topic in Texas

   I am in nursing school now getting my BSN, and I am going to apply for the Cook's residency next year. I see everyone mentioned how the interview questions were really tough and different from other interview questions. Can anyone be a little more sp...

6. My 2nd day of class

   its.jess.duh replied to Snowangel7390's topic in General Students

   YES! I am experiencing this too. This is my first semester of nursing school, and I think everyone is just so excited to learn as much as possible that they are getting ahead of themselves with all these questions that don't really pertain to the bas...

7. Can I go to community college and transfer into a BSN program?

   its.jess.duh replied to womanofchoice's topic in Pre-Nursing

   You absolutely can! I went this route and saved a ton of money. You just have to figure out your prospective BSN schools and find out what their requirements are because every school is different. You just apply to the nursing program when you have m...

8. How many people are in your nursing class?

   its.jess.duh replied to Kskar91's topic in General Students

   I am starting later this month, but we have 92 in our incoming BSN class. We also have a 99% graduation rate for our school, so hopefully we won't lose very many.

10. Opinion on your uniforms?

    its.jess.duh replied to green34's topic in General Students

    Ours are all red, top and bottom, thank goodness because scrubs with different color top and bottom drive me nuts! I guess its just a personal preference/OCD thing. They have some we can buy through the school or we can get our own and have the patch...

11. Three more semesters, but what classes to Register for?

    its.jess.duh replied to catsoutlook's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My school also combines A&P and I had no problem with applying to nursing programs. It is very common for that to happen with A&P so I would be shocked if a school didn't recognize that. Just make sure you take both 1 and 2 to count for both ...

13. Texas Tech Traditional BSN 2013

    its.jess.duh replied to Elove10's topic in Texas

    They just sent out emails a day or two ago with more orientation information so maybe check your spam folder. But Abilene's orientation is 8am-5pm, I would assume everyone's is the same or pretty close.

14. Texas Tech BSN 2 Fall 2013

    its.jess.duh replied to Ladybug3's topic in Texas

    I wasn't aware they had townhomes but I don't really know that much about them. I did have a friend that lived there in the apartments for a few years and they had no problems with it, and its in a pretty good area of town too.

15. Nursing pre-reqs online? Is it a good idea?

    its.jess.duh replied to Nasim95's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I took almost all of my pre-reqs online, and I loved it. Personally, I had a problem with actually waking up and going to class (I'm a night owl) so I found it sooooo convenient being able to do homework late after work. But you definitely do have to...
