You should think like a nurse rather than a mom. Give the medications in the hospital. That's your responsibility to your patient.

For those who will be doing clinicals at Plaza, your clinical instructor is really great. She is so calm and nice. Good luck!

It's awesome! I have had a great first semester. It is what you make it though, so always remember that. Keep a positive attitude (and it will be hard). NS is so tough, but also rewarding. Listen to...

Hey, I would recommend going with V-neck. Everyone in this semester has one. All of the clinical instructors will have different requirements, but some are VERY particular and I don't think they will...

Hey I just wanted to remind y'all, TNSA also sells scrubs for $2 a piece. You may be able to go to the TNSA office after orientation to see what they have. Last semester, they gave us a mini tour of...

I was accepted to the nursing program last app period. Our schedules were posted at the campus and we were able to go up there and look at them. They may do it differently this time because of...

Congrats to all of you!!!

M/W 1-7 clinical T/Th 10-12 lecture Thurs 1:30-4:30 skills Skills will always be on a day of your lecture, not the day of clinical. It's only 1 day per week. the morning clinical is from 7-1 I...

@txhusker-I believe there was only one Saturday clinical offered (10 students) this semester. They will put you at a hospital (make sure that you update your address with the nursing department, not...

My schedule works out for me. I quit working right before school started. I really don't see how I could work and do this at the same time. I also have no children. I do plan to get a job after this...

Hey all! Not sure if this helps, but Student an Txhusker are correct. You would not be able to take other nursing classes and graduate early. It is a set program and you will have to follow it. Also,...

Student-No, I didn't pay for two drug tests. I found out about TCC before the drug test for WC was due (barely) so I just paid for TCC. I was super bummed about paying for the background check 2X's...

I'm not sure of any online schools for BSN. Have you considered an ADN program?

You can also ask someone at a hair salon for help with this issue too. They should be able to give you some tips for styling your hair.

You may want to think about having your hair texturized (thinned out). You can have that done at an upscale salon. You will be able to keep your long hair but have it weigh a LOT less. Then every...

Hey guys, I applied and was accepted to the fall program at TCC. I just wanted to wish you all the best of luck! I'm going in to my 4th week and am loving it!!! Student- All of the nursing...

It is really going to vary from school to school. Most schools don't have the exact same criteria. An example is, some may only look at your science GPA an entrance exam scores. It just varies. I...

Okay, so maybe it is a HIPAA violation if she gave the date that the patient came into the hospital? I did find a list of HIPAA regulated patient identifiers and "dates" is on the list. Either way,...

Again, she is not my coworker. No, it is not the same thing at all...at least not from my a point of view. I don't do clinicals at the location where my friend works, nor am I employed there. Not to...

This person is not my coworker. I never asked or implied that I was interested in reporting this person to anyone. I was simply curious about it. I am not a whistle blower. I am a new nursing...

The friend who wrote the post actually said that when they (doctor or nurse, not sure) were assessing her, the mom freaked out and took the daughter out of the ER. So, she (the child) did not get...

Thank you all for the comments. This is very interesting. Also, just to be clear, I do not work with this person. I am friends with her on facebook but do not actually work with her. I also cannot...

I have a friend on Facebook who works (not a nurse, but works at the desk) in the ER at a hospital in my area. She sometimes posts things on facebook that happen at work in the ER. Recently, I saw...

Mr. Joeboto-I was in CPR on Wed and they didn't give anyone CPR cards. They told us that our clinical insturctor would have them and make a copy and pass the out to us. I thought it was kind of...

Good luck to everyone! I hope its a stress free day for all of us!
