   NurseyMcNurserson replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Texas (UTA)

   You'll still graduate with your MSN, you'll still be able to sit for boards...BUT you will have a LOT of difficulty finding preceptors and if you have questions on assignments or require clarification on anything, you'll have difficulty getting answe...

2. UTA-FNP Spring 2018

   NurseyMcNurserson replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Texas (UTA)

   I feel like if you have a checkbook, you'll get in. I transferred out after my first semester - and I know many others who did the same.

3. UTHealth Houston FNP Summer 2018

   NurseyMcNurserson replied to Sssupernurse's topic in School Programs

   I interviewed 1/29 for FT and have not heard back. Are me, JanuaryMSN, BSN, RN, and NICU RN the only ones still waiting?

   Has anyone interviewed and received a "No"? Has anyone interviewed and not heard anything? Trying to gauge this... Thank you!!

   I'm in Theory too. :/

6. UTHealth Houston FNP Summer 2018

   NurseyMcNurserson replied to Sssupernurse's topic in School Programs

   I have to say that my interviewers were not friendly - not a single smile. One wouldn't make eye-contact, while the other stared intently occasionally reading questions off her paper. Very awkward. It sounds like everyone who was admitted (and it ...

7. UTHealth Houston FNP Summer 2018

   NurseyMcNurserson replied to Sssupernurse's topic in School Programs

   I had my interview yesterday as well. I'm awful in an interview setting, so I don't feel like it went well, but hopefully my grades and experience help to make up for it. I applied for full-time and was told it's a hybrid program where a majority i...

8. How did you get your ER position?

   NurseyMcNurserson replied to Alexxoxox's topic in Emergency

   I'd say your best bet is to work as a tech or unit secretary in that department. Be awesome, get to know the managers and other staff, then apply for an internship position when you graduate.

9. What Are Private Conversations?

   NurseyMcNurserson replied to Joe V's topic in Announcements

   If you message someone who hasn't posted 15 times, can they still see/reply to the message?

10. Do you consider it helpful or not to be given a Pt’s attitude during a report?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Yes! I've been hit/kicked/spit on too many times. I'll accept all the warnings I can get.

11. Tips for first clinical?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to betsyMT2003's topic in General Students

    Be a sponge - just soak it all in and learn, learn, learn!

12. Any success stories for getting in Texas BSN Program with 3.0-3.25 Science GPA?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to ImposterSyndromeRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Have you considered retaking any classes at community college? I'm not saying it's easier...but you'll likely find smaller science classes and professors with more time to sit with you and explain things you're not understanding (that's been my expe...

13. What would you have done differently?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to kid iowa's topic in NP Students

    Are you having to find your own preceptors? If so, that's something you should start thinking about/networking toward.

14. Experience required for NP schools

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to Babynurse1992's topic in NP Students

    Go for it! Clinical experience doesn't have to be in a hospital (think home health, ambulatory centers, etc). If you're doing FNP, you should be fine in most programs.

15. Leaving ER Nursing & Finally Going to Go to Cosmetics/Aesthetics! Can I get some feedback?

    NurseyMcNurserson replied to Fleurtyluxe11's topic in Aesthetics

    Apply at Ideal Image or the like! Many of these places will train you on these procedures (paid training!), even for part-timers. Otherwise, you have the option of attending classes at National Laser Institute or somewhere similar, like the Atlanta...
