   Aggie2000 replied to jazzinitup's topic in New Nurse

   Pregnancy may or may not be considered a pre-existing condition (depends on the state, hospital and insurance company). The thing that hurts you most right now is that you don't have insurance. They are more likely to cover you if you already had i...

11. Anyone starting Tomball fall08?

    Aggie2000 replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas

    You can wear a white scrub jacket at Tomball. You just have to have the patch on the left sleeve. Be careful about too many pockets. I find that I end up filling them with tons of junk and it gets heavy and in the way.

13. Anyone starting Tomball fall08?

    Aggie2000 replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas

    Ahh! I forgot about that (sorry). Only one of the clinicals did that the first semester. The rest of the other clinicals were at other hospitals in Med/Surg. Not real sure why they did it that way. Take care!

    Aggie2000 replied to misserella8036's topic in Texas

    We have the same scrubs as the Montgomery school (white tops with patch on left sleeve, teal pants and white shoes). Someone mentioned that Tomball spends alot of time in LTC. That isn't exactly correct. We are an integrated program which means we...
