Anyone applying? Does anyone know if there is a traditional program for kingwood?

IDK about our hospital locations. I wish I could get somewhere in the Medical Center but if I remembered right, I think they said they don't use downtown hospitals for clinicals. I THINK....

Actually, I think they do unless they've changed it! A friend of mine graduated from kwood a few years ago and her hospitals were kwood, northeast, Triumph on 1960 and LBJ (which is downtown, I believe..could be wrong though.) I'm hoping for ones closer to home than the medical center, but I'll def take what I can get!

Nevermind, I don't think LBJ is in the medical center. Just looked it up! Lol

[ikegrad2002]

LOL.. Yeah LBJ is outside the Medical Center. On Kelley street(Northeast Houston)

I thought in orientation a comment was made that we'd be in nursing homes during the first semester. I could be totally wrong but something about clinicals in nursing homes was mentioned when clinical days were being discussed.

[ikegrad2002]

iamleeann, I remember them mentioning nursing homes as well but IDK if they would be as one of our "Clinical sites" or just for the beginning of clinicals.

[sapadgett]

iamleeann, I know there was something about nursing homes and I'm pretty sure they are an option as far as a clinical site. But, I don't remember anything specifically about it being the first one.

ikegrad2002, I think the medical center is an option, although they may not use it very much. I remember when I was meeting with my nursing advisor to get everything ready to apply she told me that they have contracts all over including one even in Baytown! So even though they may not use them often, I think they are a possibility.

[ikegrad2002]

sapadgett Thanks for that info! Maybe I will get lucky and get the M.C. lol

[iamleeann]

I'm going to guess that we won't hear anything about clinical sites until the first week of school or maybe on the 11th.

Hey guys ... So I'm officially in Quest basic!! I have TONS of questions... Is there anyone willing to let me contact them via phone or email ?

[hlc123]

Hey iamleann, what time is your wednesday lab?

[Jesbustos]

Do we need scrubs for RNSG 1105? What all do I need for the RNSG class ? Just the text book?

[ikegrad2002]

Jesbustos, I'm in the traditional program. I would have called you, but I don't know too much about the Quest program lol. For the 1105 class, all we need is the book and stethoscope I believe. At orientation I think they said we can just wear regular clothes.
