   Yes there were several classmates with young children, some of them with infants. Two of my good friends in the program had toddlers and had no trouble with it at all.

   FarmerFNP replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Texas

   Yes, anything below an 80 is failing. It seemed scary to me at first too but it's really not that bad.

3. UTHSC Houston FNP Fall 2014

   FarmerFNP replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Texas

   They do kinda cram everything in the first fall so that you're ready to start clinical in the spring. My main tip is to stay focused, don't get behind, and try not to feel overwhelmed! It is a lot but completely doable. If you're planning on working,...

   FarmerFNP replied to FarmerFNP's topic in Texas

   It's a pretty good program over all. I graduated in December and am now working in Women's Health - loving it! It's a hybrid program, so there's some in-class components and some online. I did full time with a fall start so mine is a little different...

5. Healthcare-related "what the heck?!?!" dreams

   FarmerFNP replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

   In nursing and grad school I had recurrent dreams that I forgot about a class until the end of the semester and went to class for the first time for the final to see if I could make up my grade. The professor always laughed at me and then I'd wake up...

6. FNP wanting to specialize

   FarmerFNP replied to Newgradnurse14's topic in NP

   I'm a newly licensed FNP and got a job no problem in women's health. It was my number one pick for a specialty after loving my women's health rotation. I was worried going into job searching that the fact that I had no background in OB/GYN as an RN w...

7. Attending NP school in a state that limits NP's autonomy?

   FarmerFNP replied to DesertSky's topic in NP Students

   I just finished up my program a couple months ago in Texas, where NPs, despite their best effort, are continually shut down on their attempts for autonomous practice. However, I don't think that affected my education at all. I do plan on working even...

8. Question for Houstonians

   FarmerFNP replied to mw1179's topic in ADN/BSN

   I hate to break it to you, but difficulty getting a new grad RN job in Houston extends to those with BSNs as well. It took me 9 months after graduating with my BSN to get my foot in at a small regional hospital in the area. Sure, there are new grads ...

   Hello! My undergrad GPA was a 3.4, GRE scores were 155 verbal, 150 quantitative, and 3.5 writing. I had recommendation letters from my director, manager, and assistant nurse manager (that's what my facility called their charge nurses - I used the tit...

13. No More ED Report?

    FarmerFNP posted a topic in Med-Surg

    So a couple of days ago out ER director told the directors on the floor that the ED nurses will no longer be giving report when they send us patients. True to their word, I received two admission from the ED with no report. They now send us an ED flo...

    FarmerFNP posted a topic in Texas

    Hey everyone! I got my acceptance to UT Health Science Center at Houston's FNP program earlier this week. I'm still shocked! I was wondering if anyone had any information about the classes? I know they're in-person, I'm just trying to figure out if t...

15. things said wrong that drive you crazy

    FarmerFNP replied to SDALPN's topic in Private Duty

    The other day I had a patient saying latex instead of Lasix. That was a new one. And for whatever reason my patients can never figure out dilaudid. I'm always hearing "dilaudy," no matter how many times I say it correctly to them. Drives me crazy!
