1. Solheim review?

   Jules81 replied to FiremedicMike's topic in Emergency

   I passed mine in November 2022 on the first attempt. I heavily utilized the Solheim program. I attended an in person session and bought the virtual review as well as the practice exams. I also purchased the practice exams from BCEN and use the Pocket...

2. UTMB FALL 2019

   Jules81 replied to Texas_J's topic in School Programs

   Be yourself, be genuine, know your personal statement well. Don’t babble because you’re nervous and it’s okay to ask for time to think of an answer before just blurting out. It’s very comfortable and they are looking to see not only if you fit for th...

3. UTMB FALL 2019

   Jules81 replied to Texas_J's topic in School Programs

   I'm a recent grad. I was in the Fall 2017 cohort. I had an interview in March and did not get an acceptance letter until May. There is no consistent method from semester to semester of when notifications go out. People who interview before you may he...

4. Do you think interviews for nursing school can lead to discrimination?

   Jules81 replied to SilverNova's topic in General Students

   I am grateful for the interview process. I was a nontraditional second career student who was older (late-30s) than most of my peers. My GPA from my undergraduate 20 years ago are not reflective of the student I am now. I was able to go in and talk a...

5. Clinicals..

   Jules81 replied to poliwag48's topic in General Students

   This is normal! By the time you get to your final semester you still won't know anywhere close to everything but you will feel like you are competent enough to be safe and know how to ask the right questions when you start as a graduate nurse.

6. MD Anderson Research Residency Summer 2018

   Jules81 replied to mrcaldwe's topic in Career Support

   I do not have previous healthcare experience but I do have previous research experience. I know people who work there as acquaintances but no one I listed as a reference or who put in a word for me. I didn't even tell anyone other than family I had a...

   Jules81 replied to MP3189's topic in Texas

   Actually the original poster is correct. I haven't found any new info on it though but here are two articles lining out some of the details. The first article says Fall 2019. https://www.bizjournals.com/houston/news/2017/06/26/san-jacinto-college-de...

9. Dealing with Students in Clinicals: What would you like to see?

   Jules81 replied to bsf312's topic in General Nursing

   I'm a second career BSN student and I would LOVE to just have a drug book and leave my cell phone out of the patient room. However, my program REQUIRES the phone to be on us at all times because our apps are on the phone and there is a push to show p...

    Jules81 replied to mrcaldwe's topic in Career Support

    I am looking to apply for the Spring 2019 position. Was there a specific place the listings were when y'all applied? Thank you!

11. San Jac Central ADN Fall 2017

    Jules81 replied to memesandmargaritas's topic in School Programs

    You'll need to bring a letter from your doctor and a copy of the prescription with you so it can be noted to the testing center.

12. Seasoned Nurses VS Newbie Nurses

    Jules81 replied to Alexx_xox's topic in General Nursing

    Wow this post took a hateful turn quick. At no point did she say she pointed it out to a seasoned nurse she was wrong, nor did she say she thought she should tell her. She said it was observed that she wasn't following the new protocol. What I took f...

13. Health Care is Not a Right

    Jules81 replied to Tetra's topic in Activism

    I am volunteering at a free clinic while in school. One of our goals is to help those who cannot afford medications. In America, if you do not have insurance medications can without exaggerating cost more than your car payment or mortgage. I know of ...

14. Health Care is Not a Right

    Jules81 replied to Tetra's topic in Activism

    If you do not believe health care should be for all you will not fair well here in the United States. Emergency rooms are full of people who cannot pay (and yes some of them actually cannot scrape up the money to pay anything). For example, they may ...

15. Video RN screaming, dragged into police car d/t refused blood draw on unconscious patient!

    Jules81 replied to SummitRN's topic in General Nursing

    Another point to this, when you arrest someone you must Mirandize them and read them their rights. He did not do this. He manhandled, assaulted and told her she was going to jail repeatedly. Even the supervisor just detained her in the car. THEY NEVE...
