1. Discouraged: Is EVERY public USA nursing program impacted?

   ArtsyIndi replied to stillpressingon's topic in General Nursing

   Look into a rurally based program. Lower population counties typically have several hospitals spread out over several counties in which they place their clinicals. For instance: Tarleton State University in Stephenville TX. Once done with pre-reqs, o...

   ArtsyIndi replied to kmbridges's topic in Texas

   Howdy y'all! This is my first post but I've been reading along all through my pre-reqs, 2 years of them! Next Fall I start my Foundations class for the BSN at Tarleton State University. Technically its semester 2 since we had to do Intro to get into ...

   ArtsyIndi replied to stephera's topic in Texas

   http://www.tarleton.edu/~nursing I'm in the generic bsn program but I can say that they're small and very focused on their students. I've had no trouble with wait lists and tuition is very reasonable. Stephenville is a small town of about 15000 so fi...

5. Waiting for letter of acceptance!!!

   ArtsyIndi replied to Jenn22's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hey Jenn! I'm 33yr old as well and waiting for that letter is killing me! This starting over is so hard and I'm looking at dorm life, at my age! At least the program isn't quite as competitive as many I've read about here though. The school has accep...

6. how long are the basics?

   ArtsyIndi replied to cristina_lrm05's topic in Pre-Nursing

   My ADN program only required 12hrs of basics and I was able to test out of 3 of those. That's a single semester! BSN programs however like you to have all core requirements and nursing pre-reqs done before they formally even consider putting you on a...

7. Question

   ArtsyIndi replied to jenli's topic in Neuro

   As I recall, a prof told me that they feel the itching because NTs are still being transmitted down the nerve axons toward the missing nerve. However, there is no place for the NTs to go so they just stop at the end. The brain however thinks they got...

8. How do you pay for school?

   ArtsyIndi replied to richard13's topic in CRNA

   I had the same trouble, then got divorced and it got worse! Now I'm in an intensive ADN program that's 16months. No way to work. So, I have a sponsor. Check with your local hospitals. It's fairly common. Once you're accepted to an RN program you can ...

9. Curious. How many "older" students

   ArtsyIndi replied to ayndim's topic in General Students

   I'm 32, and a displaced homemaker now divorced and in school. I guess that counts as a second career. Either way, I'm definately in the non-tradition student arena. In my program it seems the majority of the students are in their late 20s-late 30s ra...

10. Advice for Austin?

    ArtsyIndi replied to Ashera's topic in Texas

    Central Texas College is where I'm attending currently. The program for generic RN is getting very popular and new policies will soon built a waiting list to something similar to that of Austin Community. However, for now, the transition LVN to RN pr...

    ArtsyIndi replied to fnimat1's topic in General Students

    31 and not even official yet! I'll be 33 when I graduate, or there abouts. Wide range of ages in school at Central Texas College. Only community college I've ever seen with dorms!
