Wow - it's almost over for you and I'm just starting. Do you mind anwsering a few guestions (I'm too impatient to wait for orientation) What color scrubs do you have to wear? At your clinicals - are you there the whole 12 hours? I know kingwood leaves after about 9 to go home and work on careplans. How are the instructors? (you can pm the anwsers to me if you want) Any other sound advice would be appreciated! I've met people at everyother campus but tomball. Thanks so much! Congratulations!

I'm at Montgomery, but as for scrub color all the Lone Stars have to wear this horribly awful combination of white scrub top with "Sea Green" or teal-ish pants. Solid white shoes, too, which is another story since they don't make all that many solid white guy's shoes. We have our district patch on the left sleeve. I would imagine, however, the patch is changing for your class d/t this being "Lone Star" instead of NHMCCD now, so I would expect limited availability of this.

The LVN students get a nice royal blue/royal blue uniform, but we get to dress up like clowns.

Maybe respiratory, radiology (I think they wear grey, though), or physical therapy.

Some of the Tomball students shared a clinical site with us (Nexus, an LTAC in The Woodlands) at the beginning of first semester. We all had the same uniforms, so it caused quite a bit of confusion amongst both us and the staff.

I hate white scrubs! Oh well - what can you do. How was Nexus? I think the day I chose we go to triumph hospital. Not looking forward to doing the ltc thing (I did it as a cna) but you gotta start somewhere. I suppose they are not going to let us jump in somewhere cool - like the ER. I take a class at montgomery on mondays. I see the nursing students in the hallway. None of you are ever wearing scrubs though. I suppose it's your lecture day. Thanks for all your input!

I know that Tomball spends a lot more time in LTC than we do. We have a total of four weeks I think before moving to acute care. My clinical group was the only one in an LTACH, the rest were in SNFs.

Monday is indeed our lecture/test day (for first years) and for me personally the one day a week I don't have to wear scrubs (between lab/clinicals/work), so I take advantage of it.

I should've picked montgomery as my first pick. I recently moved closer to tomball so I chose that campus. I've always gone to montgomery. Oh well. i shouldn't complain. There are probably 100 people that would love to be in my place.
