Hi I was hoping someone might be able to give me some information. I'm searching for some info for my sister. unfortunately she was going through a rough time and quit her job as a RN last summer and became and escort for a few months. I think she wa...

The womans hospital of texas is a GREAT place to work! I've been there for 8 months now and absolutely love it! I would highly recommend applying there! We deliver over 9,000 babies a year. If you want to learn L&D Woman's is a great place to lea...

I just graduated and was there for clinicals Jan-Aug and was happy for the most part. However, I spoke with a lot of the nurses I got to know and they recommended I not apply there. From what I hear it isnt very nurse friendly and several people were...

Hi Everyone! I'm graduating in August and am starting to look in to hospitals to begin applying for positions and internships. I'm very much interested in the medical center for many reasons. I was curious to see if any of you have any suggestions of...

Yes definitely study the book. If you want to be successful in any program and REALLY learn the material, ALWAYS read the book. Notes are great but never rely on them. If you want to be a great nurse, you have to put the time and hard work into it. D...

there are usually 500 or so that take pharm in the summer... i took is back in 2005 in the summer, and am currently in their ADN program (graduating in august)...anyway the summer is VERY fast paced.. many people are weeded out because they dont take...

Thanks for your help ladies!!

Hey girl! I'm actually already in the program, so let me turn that one around on ya. If you have any questions or need anything at all while you're trying to get in, please feel free to ask!! :-)

We are required to wear white and quite frankly I hate it. Not only is it the most unflattering color, its also the most unrealisic color to be wearing and try to keep clean in a hospital setting. The uniforms are no fun but I still love nursing sch...

Oh my gosh I wish!! We still have another 2 weeks!

Ya gotta love the profs that do that! i know it just makes your blood boil! But it'll be ok! Just move on to the next test! There's really not much you can do about it now. It'll be ok!!

Yep, yep!! Always fun seeing people from the same program! What semester are you in?

Hey Ya'll!! I guess I was just looking a little pat on that shoulder or something... haha... I have my first clinicals this week and I am SO nervous! I feel like I have no idea what to expect and I'm so overwhelmed between doing really well in clinic...

1) Yes, HCC takes both spring and fall applicants. However a much smaller number in the spring. If I were you, I'd get started in the application process now. Pharmacology is a pre-req to get into the program and there is typically a one or two semes...

I am currently in my first semester of the ADN program at HCC and am having a blast! The staff has been nothing but wonderful and helpful! I know HCC has gotten negative reports in the past so it must be better because I have absolutely no complaints...

This is such a great thread!! I don't start until the 17th but I have orientation on the 9th and I'm even nervous about that!!! Pretty silly I know! I've worked so hard to get to this point and now that I've finally made it I'm SCARED TO DEATH! I me...

Has anyone been accepted into HCCs ADN program in houston? I was accepted for this spring and wanted to see if there was anyone else out there!

No you have to make a 90 or above on the math exam and at least a 75 overall average to be admitted into HCCs program.

Hey Everyone! I was just wanting to see how many nursing students there were in Houston, or surrounding areas? I just got accepted into nursing school for the spring '06 year and am soooo excited!! :)

Have any of you considered applying to Houston Community College's RN program? You don't have to take the Hesi test... you just need your pre-reqs, pass pharmacology with a 75+ and your pretty much in. I just got my acceptance letter for this spring....
