1. Lonestar vs HCC?

   S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Nnjohns09's topic in Texas

   HCC has a pretty bad reputation as they were put on probation a couple years back for poor NCLEX pass rates.

2. 130k Student debt for Entry MSN worth it?

   S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to ns90's topic in General Students

   That kind of debt would crush my soul... I would only consider it if I came out of it making a doctor or lawyer's salary.

3. Posting picture on social media

   Why take the risk?

4. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

   S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Hunt

   I am in Houston as well, I'm really not sure about the rest of the state but my peers are also applying to jobs in Dallas and Austin and having trouble there as well. I think with any healthcare profession, you might have an easier time finding jobs ...

5. Did they ask for your GPA, yes or no?

   S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Bunsbuns's topic in Job Hunt

   I am in Texas and all the new grad programs in my area absolutely care about GPA. I am not graduated yet but my peers who are looking for jobs have not found jobs yet if they have below a 3.2. However, I live in a highly competitive area where you ha...

6. Second degree BSN programs in Houston area

   S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to ICUity's topic in Texas

   It's full time but I've been managing to work 24 hours a week as a CNA with no issues. I plan to work all summer as a CNA and get an internship my final summer. I think many people in my class have similar plans.

7. Second degree BSN programs in Houston area

   S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to ICUity's topic in Texas

   Texas Woman's has a two year program (summers off) in Houston geared towards those who have completed all prerequisites. I would estimate about half of my class has prior bachelor's.

9. Question for BSN students

   S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to gpffhdn's topic in General Students

   One sad truth about life is that it isn't always fair. While her lack of punishment was not fair, you must accept that you did your part and wash your hands of this mess. Continue to practice academic honesty in your own life and forget about her an...

10. What type of nurses work regular hours?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Emendoza01's topic in General Students

    Yeah, it definitely seems you need hospital experience (which includes 12 hr shifts and weekends, maybe nights too) before you can do much else. So OP might be a little sad to hear that haha. But yes, there seems to be tons of options once you get so...

11. What type of nurses work regular hours?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Emendoza01's topic in General Students

    You are correct, they were not entry level positions. I haven't even started nursing school yet (I start in 2 weeks), these were just some postings I saw while browsing for CNA/Tech positions at some local hospitals.

12. What type of nurses work regular hours?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to Emendoza01's topic in General Students

    I saw some advertised PACU (post-anesthesia care unit) positions that were M-F.

13. iPad Pro for lecture notes and studying?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    I love using an iPad for school purposes. Only thing to beware is that flash is not supported on the iPad. So if your school uses web-based ebooks or other flash-based learning tools, it might be more beneficial to look at laptops instead. You might ...

14. Hybrid A&P Class

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to TaylorJackson14's topic in Pre-Nursing

    It was great for me. However it greatly depends on your professors and the structure of the class. My lab professor was awesome and I learned a lot from the in person lab. Also my online lecture professor posted audio recordings of him going through ...

15. Money to live on during nursing school? Loans?

    S7ud3n7_Nur53 replied to hello77kitty's topic in General Students

    From your post it sounds like you won't have to worry about rent? If so, then you have the hardest part taken care of. I will be living with a family member and working PRN as a PCA at a hospital in order to supplement the rest of my needs (gas/food/...
