   They expect you to buy the scrub uniforms and skills pack at orientation. You will need those for class. The company rep is there taking orders, you pay, and it's delivered a few days before class starts. It was an extra expense that I didn't know to...

   There is a lot of information at orientation and some segments aren't applicable but it's mandatory so not much you can do. They have time during orientation where you order uniforms, ID badges, skills kit, stethoscopes, jackets, rolling bags, and ot...

   I forgot! If you buy just the Course Point Plus you have access to the Foundations ebook and for $50 they will print out a copy and send to you. Doing that is cheaper than renting the book and buying CPP. I bought the least expensive stethoscope and...

   First semester you take Foundations and Health Assessment the first 8 weeks and 2nd 8 weeks is Skills and a clinical. Clinical is wherever they have a spot but you will be at that same hospital the entire 8 weeks. Once a week for a 12 hour shift.

   I'm finishing my third semester and set to graduate in August. Nursing school is like taking a class in a foreign language with a completely different culture and mindset that you are used to. It's not just the regurgitation of knowledge but it's the...

   Hi Yadira! I'm starting my 3rd semester and I was told by someone who sells insurance that you do not have to wait until open enrollment to get insurance. She got very technical in her explanation, but I would suggest speaking to a private insurance ...

8. San Jacinto College Nursing at Central Campus

   tsume replied to Jpee's topic in Texas

   You take the nursing classes they tell you and in the order they tell you. There is no taking classes early. Have you submitted your FAFSA yet? That's the first step towards financial aid. And if you do qualify for financial aid then you can only ta...

   javicerv16, if you've taken an RNSG pharm within a certain number of years (5?) then you can have that credit transferred and if accepted you don't have to retake pharm. My second semester starts Monday and I have to take pharm; I have some in my co...

    tsume replied to Jpee's topic in Texas

    You go to any hospital in the Houston area. They explained it like the NFL draft where the schools take turns and pick a rotation (hospital and day.) From that selection they place students and it's a "you get what you get" situation. The classes are...

    Correct. 21 without micro. If you added micro it would have been 24. You can retake portions of HESI. You know on the test they have the main screen and you click on the subject to bring up test - just click what you want to take. If you have 100 in ...

    Max is 27 and I had 21 with micro in progress. I was accepted and had to turn in transcript with passing grade before first day of class. Our cohort is around 100 people and that includes new students and students who are re-entering the program.

    tsume replied to MP3189's topic in Texas

    The hardest part for me is learning to rearrange my thinking. It's a completely different culture and language. All professors have been professional and really want to prepare you for real world. Spring and Fall are set up in two eight week course...

    tsume replied to Jpee's topic in Texas

    I'm in San Jac's ADN program right now and it is difficult. I don't have anything else to compare to, but I'd think all programs are just as challenging. It's a lot of reading, changing your thought process, reading other things to try to understand...
