1. Just starting out

   Mr. Beef replied to curlysue82's topic in Texas

   I would say you should start applying as soon as you are available and have completed the pre-req's for the school(s) you want to attend. Depending on the program you could take all your Pre-Req's at once at the Dallas County Community Colleges [DCC...

2. Taking 1 Class At A Time

   Mr. Beef replied to RNwntaB's topic in Pre-Nursing

   If I could, I would take my Pre-req's one class at a time, but with only 4 of them for most of the ADN schools around me, I figure I can handle 2 at a time and get them done in two semesters and take the summer off, and apply then rather than having ...

   It never crossed my mind to go to TWU. I guess that something to look into. Thanks, Mr. Beef.

4. Making a choice of Schools

   Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

   Sounds like generic writing. I can do that in my sleep. I scored a 5 (out of a possible 5) on the TASP writing portion and I know that was not my best work. In twenty minutes I could write on just about anything, and edit it. I did not take any AP...

   Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

   I know about the whole hospitals paying for your education thing because I have a friend in Houston who did that same thing many years ago. I'm expecting to either go into debt for a BSN or minimize my debt with an ADN. With the ADN I can go RN to BS...

   Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

   Congradualtions on your passing the NCLEX, and doing something that I can only dream about. Geez, if I'm competing with at least 799 other people I guess I really need to make myself stand out. I know a 3.14 GPA is not the best in the world, but tha...

7. Making a choice of Schools

   Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

   As long as I don't have to get up at some really early time of day just to take it, then I can probably make a decent score on it. For the The SAT and TASP I had to get up really early (7:00am) and I was out before noon, and on the SAT I made a 1010,...

   Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

   What kind of writing sample, creative or technical? If it's Creative, then I shouuld have no trouble because I took Creative Writing in the Spring of this year and got an A in it. If it's Technical, then I really don't know how to handle that sort of...

   Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

   "Point earner" what does that mean? Is it like the way Brookhaven does it by assigning points based on standardized tests and GPA. Some It seems like most places go by Pre-Req's rather than anything else. Looks like I need to get off my big backside ...

    Mr. Beef replied to godsgurl's topic in Career Support

    Here's a link to one of the Colleges in my area that has a Surgical Technican degree program: http:// http://www.elcentrocollege.edu/Programs/HealthLegalstudies/SurgTech/stdescribe.htm It should answer most of the questions that you have. Granted it...

    Mr. Beef posted a topic in Male Students

    Hi Everybody, I was just wondering something, and that is, how do schools handle OB/GYN rotations for Nursing students that are male? OB/GYN is something that makes me rather uncomfortable. I don't want to go into OB/GYN in the future, but something...

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

    Considering that Denton is a 35-40 minute drive up I-35E another 30 minutes is a lot further than I want to go. Thanks for the help. Have a chocolate chip cookie, and coffee. Thanks, Mr. Beef

13. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

    I've got it down to either El Centro or Brookhaven. El Centro has the lead because it's a lot easier to get into (pre-req wise) than Brookhaven, but Brookhaven is closer, and the college credits I have so far are from there. The point system is a ...

14. Making a choice of Schools

    Mr. Beef replied to Mr. Beef's topic in Texas

    I'm mostly sticking with Dallas County because I can get affordable In-County tuition at the Community Colleges, and it's not a commute like some of the others in the tri-county area. Ellis County is just a bit far out of the way since I live in No...

15. Need professional opinions on a pharm test question

    Mr. Beef replied to dano's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have any links to support my theory, but I must agree with you and I would have said Aleve as well. Half of the answers were not NSAID's, and I thnk Motrin is not an NSAID or is one of the older ones. It could not be something easy like Advil...
